Facial recognition technology is constantly evolving, and its use in sensitive environments such as assisted living facilities has proven to be a valuable tool for vulnerable populations. By integrating this technology with behavior analytics, the safety and operational efficiency of these facilities can be greatly improved.
Avi Golan, CEO at Oosta, and Dieter Joecker, the company’s CTO, recently discussed how these technologies can be strategically utilized to quickly identify and respond to incidents. They highlighted the significant role that facial recognition technology plays in environments where continuous monitoring is crucial. Golan provided an example of how facial recognition could be used to locate missing persons in assisted living complexes.
In the event that someone leaves a memory care facility unaccompanied, identifying who that individual is becomes essential. Facial recognition technology can help in locating the missing person and ensuring their safe return to the facility. Golan emphasized the importance of utilizing this technology in scenarios where the well-being of individuals is at stake. With advancements in technology, facial recognition technology can provide a new level of security and safety for vulnerable populations in assisted living facilities.
