forewarned is forearmed
Welcome...
ARMED (Advanced Risk Modelling for Early Detection) is an innovative prevention and self-management solution from H.A.S. Technology.
ARMED combines pioneering predictive analytics modelling with innovative wearable technology, and health and social care data, providing a powerful tool to identify risks (including risk of falling), earlier in the care cycle.
In addition to monitoring the individual, ARMED environmentals now allow issues to be picked up in the wider home setting, helping care providers provide quality of life care.
ARMED provides technology enabled care solutions which empower people to remain independent in their home for longer.
What is ARMED?
ARMED focuses on key metrics associated with frailty and risk of falling, such as low grip strength, muscle mass, hydration levels, low heart rate and heart rate variability. These can easily be monitored and measured from the comfort of an individual’s own home using the latest wearable technologies.
Predictive analytics developed with Edinburgh Napier University flag up issues that may need intervention.
ARMED empowers individuals with data to allow self-management as well as ensuring healthcare professionals are alerted to potential issues.
The benefits of using ARMED
ARMED brings benefits to individuals and their families, Care Providers and the wider community. By encouraging self-management and identifying at-risk individuals sooner, there is potential to save millions of dollars from the public purse.
“The ARMED solution has huge and exciting potential to support falls prevention and help identify other risks. It provides our customers, their families and carers, with a tech solution that brings peace of mind while allowing people to live independently at home, for as long as possible. We fitted our customers with the ARMED solution and almost instantaneously we got results.”
Moira Charters, Head of Improvement & Innovation, Loreburn Housing Association
ARMED for prevention and self-management
Data security and confidentiality are key, so ARMED is hosted on Microsoft’s Azure Platform leveraging all the power of Microsoft Machine Learning and PowerBI tools.
Frailty indicators are monitored 24 hours a day through a Polar device worn on the wrist. Data is synced, via Bluetooth, with a smartphone and uploaded to ARMED at regular intervals.
Wearables are complemented with data captured using Tanita Body Composition Scales and grip strength tests to give a holistic view.
Sensors around the home give greater insight into the patient’s wellbeing and can help identify weaknesses in the property so they can be proactively addressed.
