Data measuring wearable tech shortlisted for award

ARMED (Advanced Risk Modelling for Early Detection), developed by HAS Technology, has been shortlisted as part of the Tomorrow’s Care Awards, an accolade that champions technology that benefits both staff members and end-users. 

The company uses wearable technology to measure data associated with frailty and risk of falling, enabling those managing care to intervene at earlier stages, preventing more significant health risks. It also promotes self-management by making people more aware of a variety of indicators.  

Brian Brown, director of ARMED at HAS Technology Group said: “We are always striving to improve the lives of those receiving care and support and are thrilled our ARMED technology has been recognised as part of the Tomorrow’s Care Awards.

“This nomination is testament to the hard work of each and every one of our team and we are thrilled to see digital transformation being embraced by the sector with an increased priority to improving lives, increasing independence and preventing health issues before they arise.”

ARMED was developed with support from Edinburgh Napier University and Scotland’s Digital Health and Care Institute (DHI), as well as being in the 1% of companies chosen to be a Microsoft partner.

With a proven success rate and 25:1 save to spend ratio, ARMED has quickly expanded, demonstrating how AI and deep learning can revolutionise preventative care.

Tomorrow’s Care has shortlisted ARMED as one of their finalists due to the innovative approach the technology has had in assisting people to live more independently and to reduce falls and associated hospital admissions.
