growing to over 80 million by 2050.
Growth in Senior
Population
10% of physicians work in rural health whereas
25% of the population lives in rural areas.
Access to Care
2583 hospitals (83%) paid nearly $563M in
penalties. New payment models leave hospitals
at-risk for readmissions. 2020

ADVANCEMENTS IN CONNECTIVITY
HOW 5G & LTE-M NARROW BAND IMPACTS DEVICES
LTE-M a.k.a Narrow Band
Makes use of existing LTE infrastructure for rapid deployment
Lower power requirements provides extended battery life, signal provides deeper penetration in to buildings
Lower cost with single-digit megabyte data plans vs. multi-digit gigabyte plans
Ideal uses include sensors for sweating, respiratory rate, body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2, etc.
5G
Requires infrastructure upgrades of $1 trillion
Provides download speeds 10 to 100 times faster than 4G
Reduces latency to milliseconds, 10 times decrease compared to 4G
Ideal uses include physician video consults, intra-hospital networks, imaging CT & MRI, remote robotic
surgery, emergency response (5G vehicles).

ADVANCEMENTS IN CONNECTIVITY
MORE CONNECTED DEVICES CREATE MORE SECURITY RISKS
AHA Cybersecurity Recommendations:
1. Ensure devices have strong security features; passwords & encryption
2. Segment the work so that non-critical devices aren’t connected to core systems
3. Inventory all devices and map how they are connected on the network
4. Monitor network abnormalities

INTERPRETING SENSOR DATA
FALL DETECTION
Accelerometer Sensors
Collect acceleration data in 3 dimensions in G-force
Vertical axis is G-force 2.5G = 24.5meters
Horizonal axis collects data at a rate of 50 times per
second measuring acceleration
Fall Detection
Shown are two simplistic features as an example
that differentiate an actual fall
Sophisticated features can be extracted from the data
and used with machine learning to classify falls high
levels of specificity
Accelerometry data can be used to determine false
positives

Q&A
© 2020 Valencell Inc.
Readmissions & Healthcare Cost– (CMS)1,177 hospitals received a higher penalty than they did last year, while 1,148 received a lower penalty, and 64 received the same penalty. Fifty-six hospitals received a 3% penalty, which is the highest levied under the program. Meanwhile, 372 hospitals avoided penalties both last year and this year.
Caregiver Burden (AARP)
Senior Population (US Census Bureau)
82% of responded listed challenges related to peace of mind as their #1 concern. I believe that Connected Care models between caregivers and their loved ones play a very important role in offering solutions to these very difficult challenges. Reference my personal experience with my mom (dad) and how this affects so many of us.
