Ameen, having wearable device to help alert health event in elders is a good idea. As you mentioned, we have to make sure that the device has a good precision and accuracy. We don’t want too many false alarms…as it will lead to alert fatigue and people will no longer pay attention to the alerts. Importantly, we also do not want the system to have less sensitivity that could not detect the health event.
