What should the old man do if he falls down at home alone?

In 20 15, I went to Guangzhou as a volunteer, studied the mode of home-based care for the elderly, and learned how to deal with the old people's falls at home and how to prevent such accidents. Failure to rescue them in time led to tragedies.

Home-based care for the elderly, as the name implies, the elderly no longer need to go to nursing homes for the elderly, but in their own homes. The advantage of this is to prevent the elderly from not accepting living in a nursing home and living alone without care. In particular, empty nesters and elderly people living alone have more and more accidents at home, and home-based care for the elderly has become a better mode of providing for the elderly.

In the mode of home-based care for the aged, every empty nester or elderly person living alone will receive a special smart bracelet. This bracelet has the functions of health monitoring data collection, GPS positioning, communication for help and so on.

These bracelets are usually worn on the hands of the elderly and are mainly used to detect body data, such as heart rate, sleep quality and other functions that can be achieved by conventional smart bracelets.

Once the old man who is alone at home falls, the bracelet detects that the old man's heartbeat and other physical data are abnormal. After the data is uploaded to the platform through the real-time network, if there is a problem with the platform's usual data, the platform will give an alarm to the medical staff and the docking care workers so that they can determine whether there is an accident.

In fact, if the elderly are still conscious after falling, they can also directly press the preset alarm button on the bracelet and directly ask the platform for help.

As far as I know, this platform was used in Guangzhou and Shantou at that time, and it really helped the elderly in an emergency.

In fact, when an elderly person who lives alone falls down at home, it is generally difficult for others to find him, especially when he is weak. After a fall, you may not be able to shout for help or even move.

If there is no such intelligent ambulance equipment, it is very likely that you will really lie on the floor, waiting for recovery, or you can only wait for death quietly. ...

Although it is cruel to say so, the reality is that many old people did die because they fell at home alone and didn't get timely help. ...

Of course, if the elderly who live alone have close contact with other neighbors at ordinary times, then the elderly do not show up after falling, and these neighbors can also find abnormalities and visit them at home. ...

But now the interpersonal communication in the city is weak and the connection is not so close. If someone really comes to visit, he may only see one body.

In the home-based care project, in order to avoid this kind of thing, the elderly will sign an agreement with the home-based care service organization, and nursing workers and social workers will come to the door regularly.

For example, nursing workers in charge of health management need to help the elderly measure and record blood pressure and other physical data every day to do health management for the health of the elderly. ...

Contacts happen every day, and even if the old man really has an accident, he can know it quickly.

In fact, we should realize that the old man fell down at home alone and there was little he could do. And what we can do should be ahead of time, not wait until then to improve. I hope that the life of the elderly is getting better and better, and the living security is getting better and better. After all, we will grow old one day.
