Kaspard, a very useful device in nursing homes. Philippe Kaplan discusses its usefulness:

One in two people over the age of 75 falls at least once a year. And this figure is at least doubled in nursing homes or institutions.Falls have enormous consequences for the elderly, and in the case of undetected falls the consequences become more serious.
