Elderly and Safety
Why is safety at home important for the elderly?
Denmark is currently experiencing a demographic shift, with the number of elderly people in the population on the rise. According to figures from Statistics Denmark, the number of citizens over 65 is expected to increase by 26.14% by 2040.[1] This development creates new needs for solutions that can support a safe everyday life.
Falls are one of the major challenges, as statistics indicate that approximately 33% of the elderly population experience at least one fall per year.[2] The consequences can range from minor injuries to extended hospital stays, and in most cases, quick assistance is needed after the incident.
Technological advancement represents a new opportunity for independence. As many elderly people today are familiar with smartphones, it opens doors for innovative methods to ensure safety. Linucare offers a solution that combines modern technology with the clear need for security through a mobile alarm app and an associated safety button.
When the safety button is activated, an immediate emergency call is sent, which is essential in acute situations where a fast response is crucial to the outcome.
