Does living alone mean facing emergencies alone?
As more people live independently, Singapore is seeing a rise in cases where elderly individuals pass away at home and are only discovered much later. This student team from Nanyang Polytechnic set out to explore how emergencies could be detected earlier without compromising independence or privacy.
Guided by their formal curriculum which integrates Shell NXplorers tools, the team developed KinetiCare: a discreet, sensor based system that detects unusual inactivity during everyday routines and sends alerts to neighbours or authorities when something may be amiss.
