New funding
Alison Hutchinson and her team have been awarded a Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) grant to work with A2I2 and HomeGuardian AI to develop an AI model that identifies indicators that occur prior to a fall, allowing carers to take preventative actions to reduce the likelihood of a fall. Ali and her team will evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of use of the model by care providers.
