70% Fewer Falls Achieved in 2 Months at Fellowship Square Mesa with Helpany's Privacy-First Tech

MESA, Ariz. - Sept. 18, 2024 - PRLog -- Fellowship Square Mesa announced today a significant achievement in fall prevention among its residents, thanks to the installation of Helpany's innovative AI and radar-based device, "Paul," in every assisted living apartment. Within just two months, Fellowship Square Mesa has seen a 70% reduction in falls, marking a major milestone in resident safety and care.

Helpany's Paul has been a game-changer, identifying residents at risk by analyzing their unique motion patterns and providing real-time preventive notifications to caregivers. The Helpany technology enables caregivers to spot changes in residents' conditions and prevents potential falls before they occur, especially during nighttime when falls were previously more common. The Helpany device functions as a 24/7 virtual caregiver assistant, significantly enhancing care capabilities and supporting monitoring for timely, effective interventions.

"Falls are a major concern for every senior community and at Fellowship Square Mesa, we aimed to pioneer effective fall prevention strategies while preserving the independence and dignity of our residents," said Jon Scott Williams, Executive Director of Fellowship Square Mesa. "With Helpany, we can identify residents at risk and assist them proactively, leading to higher resident satisfaction, fewer falls and longer resident relationships."

Invasive methods, like camera-based monitoring systems, intrude on privacy and undermine residents' dignity. Determined to avoid such privacy-invading solutions, Fellowship Square Mesa chose Helpany's AI and radar-based technology, which effectively mitigates falls while ensuring residents' privacy and dignity.
