Problem addressed
Manual attendance, temperature checks, and CCTV review in caring centres are manpower-intensive. Existing solutions struggle with privacy and security. Our system automates these tasks while preserving privacy.
Innovation
- Non-vision-based sensing: responds to brightness changes only, does not capture images, ensuring privacy.
- Real-time local data processing eliminates the need for cloud transfer, boosting response speed and reducing power.
Key impact
- Protects user privacy, ensuring no personal information is leaked during monitoring.
- Enables instant detection of behavior and anomalies, supporting fast alerts and action.
- Easily integrates with existing infrastructure; suitable for public and private spaces.
Application
- Elderly or special care centre monitoring
- Hospital ward monitoring
- Public/private space anomaly detection
