Perhaps this is good for someone that is generally healthy and perhaps for folks that stay in assisted living (not sure what the qualifacations are). We'd need more information, though: How often do changes in blood pressure lead to falls compared to other causes? Is it worth the cost and does it save more lives than other sorts of alerts? This certainly isn't a good fit for a nursing home. First off, you have general health issues, like thinning skin that tears and cuts easily paired with folks that are in declining health and may or may not have good control of their limbs. Psychological issues and things like dementia is going to make this more difficult as well. One horrible scenario is finding the device covered in feces, since some folks, as their minds degrade, handle their own feces. And I'd hate to have to fight with someone daily to put the device on (other folks won't care).Of course, if your nursing home is staffed well with folks that do their jobs, it probably won't make a difference.
