TBI and Fall Risk: Solutions for Enhanced Patient Safety

March marks Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time dedicated to understanding and supporting those affected by traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). For individuals living with TBIs, the challenges can be significant, impacting daily life in profound ways. Thankfully, advancements in technology are offering new avenues for improved care and safety.

Continuous Passive Monitoring for TBI Safety

One of the most valuable tools for managing TBI is continuous, non-invasive monitoring. With camera-free technology, caregivers can proactively address potential risks and provide more effective support – without invading privacy. Of note, TBI sufferers face:

• Cognitive Challenges: Individuals with TBIs may become easily disoriented or lose focus, making them more prone to accidents such as falls.
• High Potential for Sleepwalking: This involuntary activity poses a serious risk, as individuals may wander in their sleep, significantly increasing the potential for falls and other injuries.

Caspar AI: Bridging the Gap in TBI Care

Caspar AI offers innovative solutions that can make a tangible difference in the lives of those with TBIs. Through a combination of contactless monitoring and AI-powered insights, Caspar provides caregivers with the tools they need to enhance patient safety and well-being.

• Fall Detection: Caspar’s system can immediately detect falls, alerting caregivers to provide prompt assistance. This rapid response is crucial in minimizing the severity of injuries.
• Fall Prevention: Beyond detection, Caspar’s technology also focuses on prevention. By analyzing movement patterns and identifying potential fall risks, the system enables caregivers to intervene before an accident occurs. This proactive approach significantly reduces the likelihood of falls and related injuries.
• Restlessness in Bed Monitoring: Caspar’s solutions monitor changes in movement patterns that can indicate emerging complications, fluctuations in brain function, or poor sleep quality. The resulting insights allow for better care planning. 

TBI Prevention in At-Risk Populations

For those already at risk of falling, such as seniors, Caspar’s fall Prevention Solution can also play a vital role in preventing falls that may lead to a TBI. By proactively monitoring movement and detecting potential fall risks, these solutions can help prevent falls before they occur, thus avoiding a main cause of TBIs.
