Smart technology is being deployed in Rome to protect elderly people from extreme heat. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The new system allows remote monitoring of elderly people's health and provides rapid assistance during heatwaves. The technology includes sensors and mobile apps that measure body temperature and heart rate. Data is sent to medical staff, who can take emergency action if needed.
The initiative is being tested in nursing homes in Rome. Project developers say it will help save lives and reduce hospitalizations. Heatwaves are particularly dangerous for the elderly as their bodies are less able to regulate temperature. The new technology enables timely intervention and prevention of complications.
