About WithYou 낙상 감지 카메라

WithYou는 가정에서 생활하는 노년층을 위해 설계된 낙상 감지 기기입니다. WithYou는 뎁스 카메라를 이용해 인체 자세를 인식하므로, 신원을 식별할 수 있는 영상을 기록하지 않고도 낙상을 감지하여 사생활을 보호합니다. 낙상이 발생하면 비상 연락처와 의료진에게 즉시 알림이 전달되어 피해를 줄일 수 있습니다. 내장 스피커를 통해 의료진이 전문적인 안내를 제공할 수 있습니다. 사람이 다가오면 조명이 켜지며 흐르듯 움직이고, 위험이 감지되면 빛이 변화합니다. 간결한 형태는 가정 환경에 자연스럽게 어우러집니다.

Unique Properties: WithYou uses a depth camera for human posture detection. On the premise of protecting privacy, it detects falls and notifies emergency contacts and medical personnel in time to minimize the harm to the elderly.
WithYou also has a speaker, through which doctors can provide professional guidance for the elderly.
When an approach is detected, the light turns on and flows. And when danger is detected, the light changes accordingly, giving the user a sense of security and companionship.
Dimensions & Packaging: The human body posture is judged by using the Heatmap algorithm and the dep algorithm. In terms of design, we hope withu will become the guardian of users, so we add the interactive element of light.
Tags: Privacy Protected, Falls Detection, Emergency Contacts, Companionship
Production Technology: In terms of algorithm, we use Depthmap for human posture prediction, Heatmap for background segmentation, temporal and spatial information for behavior understanding and human posture judgment. In design, we pursue simple design language in order to better integrate into the home environment.
Design Challenge: Data privacy is a major challenge for smart home, and how to protect privacy reasonably and effectively is the biggest problem we face. Therefore we therefore use a deep camera and develop the algorithm accordingly, so there is no possibility of privacy leakage from the data source. In the appearance design, how to make the protection detection device accepted by users is also the main problem we solve.
Research: Using a deep camera to achieve the acquisition of body pose information while protecting the user's privacy, and the corresponding algorithm development was carried out. Interaction with light. A flowing light is emitted to alert the user when he approaches. With the corresponding APP, a fall occurs so that the first time to notify emergency contacts and nearby hospitals.
Inspiration: According to statistics, 70% of elderly falls occur in the bathroom. In addition to fall prevention, timely detection after a fall is also a key issue. But for privacy reasons, traditional cameras in bathrooms are not universally accepted.
With a simple and friendly appearance, WithYou better integrates into the environment.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2021 and finished in January 2022 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: Users set up emergency contacts and whether to call an ambulance on the app. After the fall, WithYou immediately notifies emergency contacts. WithYou also has a speaker, through which doctors can provide professional guidance for the elderly.
