Peace of mind
Benefits to the resident are multiple:
Falls are the leading cause of accidental death among the elderly. Every year, 1 in 2 people over 75 years of age falls, and in nursing homes, this number is rising as a person falls on average twice a year.
When a resident falls, the outcome can be very serious, including major physical and mental trauma.
 |
1 hour spent on the floor increases the risk of death in the next 12 months by 50% |
 |
After a first fall, the chances of falling again increase 20-fold |
In addition, the stress and anxiety caused by the event, as well as the fear of falling again results in residents limiting their own physical activity from 16 to 26%.
They tend to withdraw from social life, which further worsens their health.
Kaspard creates a safer environment for residents. Knowing that they will be assisted quickly in case of emergency, and that potential falls will be avoided gives them confidence and autonomy. This sense of security provides peace of mind, and enhances both physical and mental well-being.

Insights on health condition
Knowing that our relatives are safe
Who would not want to give up everything to know that their loved ones are in safe hands? With Kaspard, we make it happen. Residents are promptly assisted should a fall occur, and families feel relieved that their relatives are properly cared for in the nursing home.
At last, answers to questions
Many falls go unnoticed by the staff. A resident may fall, and get back on his/her feet, without anyone ever knowing. As a result, families may find that their relatives are injured, but have no explanation for it. With alarms and 3D visualization of the falls, the staff can now provide families with answers, and reassure them that their relative was promptly and efficiently assisted.

Fall occurrences impact both nursing homes and hospitals at the management level. Managers are directly affected by the well-being of their residents and nursing staff. In addition, fall prevention policies are important within healthcare facilities.
Nursing staff burnout
When caregivers work in a stressful and unsafe environment due to falls and their outcomes, burnout, decreased attendance, negativity, and so on, can occur.
It is therefore crucial that all employees and residents evolve in the safest and most peaceful environment. This is what Kaspard is all about.

Understanding of falls

Personalized care
With advancing age, the body becomes more fragile. The outcomes of a fall injury can be very serious for the physical and mental health of the elderly, with an increased risk of making them dependent.
In geriatrics, physicians have a key role in providing the most appropriate care possible while fulfilling the needs of each individual.
Uncovering patterns
It is not always easy to spot the first signs of deteriorating health. 3D visualization of falls and activity reports, once reviewed, provide relevant insights that allow physicians to detect signs or patterns. This makes it possible to be proactive in preserving the autonomy and independence of the residents.
Multidisciplinary teamwork
The actionable insights provided by Kaspard enables HCPs to adjust treatments for each resident, but also enables cross-functional teams to adjust treatment schemes with each HCP. A genuine collaboration between different functions is occurring to promote health and well-being. This teamwork also makes it possible, thanks to individual input, to advance research into the risk factors for falls.
