SINGAPORE - A pilot integrated aged care facility with video-based technology to monitor elderly residents in a non-invasive manner has opened in Kebun Baru. The Integrated Dementia Assisted Living (Ideal) facility, which began operations on Monday (March 1) in a Housing Board unit, caters to vulnerable elderly who live alone in the constituency. It currently provides free daytime care to this group. The facility has two cameras and a sound sensor that monitor the elderly, while using privacy-masking solutions to ensure their personal privacy is respected. The system also comes with artificial intelligence (AI) and sound analytics software capable of detecting falls and distress.
