Assisted living facilities in Arizona are utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology to help prevent falls among residents. At Fellowship Square in Mesa, a device named ‘Paul’ is installed in every room, detecting out-of-the-ordinary movements and alerting staff to potential issues. Founder Sandro Cilurzo of Helpany, the company behind ‘Paul,’ emphasizes the use of radar to protect residents’ privacy. The technology has already shown promising results, with a 70% decrease in falls since its implementation. Before ‘Paul,’ the facility averaged 20 falls a month, which has now dropped to just six. This reduction not only improves residents’ safety but also frees up resources for staff to focus on other tasks. Foster Vance, a resident at Fellowship Square, appreciates the peace of mind ‘Paul’ provides, especially after losing his wife earlier this year. Developers hope to expand the technology to private homes in the future. With AI playing an increasingly significant role in everyday life, its impact on assisted living facilities in Arizona demonstrates how innovative solutions can improve the quality of care for vulnerable populations.
