AI, can save lives? 🧐
Typically when we think of AI, large LLMs or conversational bots come to mind, but AI is so much more than that. It has the potential to revolutionize healthcare if utilized correctly. By combining data from various sensors (heart rate, blood pressure, skin conductivity, motion, etc.) and running AI algorithms on them, one could predict early signs of potentially life threatening ailments and save countless human lives. But let’s consider an even simpler example: fall detection for the elderly, which can turn fatal, especially as they often live alone and unattended. Simply by detecting when a fall has occurred and minimizing time for medical response, AI can save minimize the chances of fatal injuries and save several lives.
Current Fall Detection Solutions 😔
While there are several fall detection solutions available in the market, they all suffer from severe limitations. While some are expensive and complex to set up, some are so inconvenient to wear 24/7, they limit usability while others require frequent charging. They all compromise the convenience and usability of the solutions and prevent mass adoption of what could potentially be a life saving AI application. What if there was a wearable solution that required no prior set up, was compact and lightweight, required almost no recharging ever and could accurately detect falls without relying on an internet or a network connection? If that sounds too good to be true, you won't regret scrolling to the next section!

Introducing Ambient’s Sparsh Board 🥳
Our new demo board combines the low-power AI capabilities of our processor GPX10 with motion sensors & BLE in a tiny form factor as the perfect vehicle for fall detection! Now, you can run Always-On AI algorithms for fall detection in a compact wearable format without having to worry about an internet connection or recharging for months at a time.
But not just fall detection, the same board due to its flexibility and programmability can be used for many many life saving applications such as assault detection for women, asthma attack detection, heart attack detection while running cloud-free on-device AI on a small coin cell battery!
Although seemingly simple, fall detection on our Sparsh demo board can be a life saving application for the elderly by making detection real-time, minimizing response time and improving survivability. The unique combination of on-device AI capabilities, ultra-low power consumption, compact form factor for ease of use, low cost are all enabled by breakthrough computing architecture within our product GPX10.
