Milesight VS373 Radar Fall Detection Sensor: Next-Generation Care Safety

The Global Aging Challenge and Fall Prevention

The world's population is aging rapidly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2050, individuals aged 60 and older will exceed 2 billion. In Europe, the elderly population currently represents 20% of the total, projected to reach 30% by 2060. Turkey faces similar demographic trends. As elderly populations grow, fall-related incidents have become a critical health concern. The European Commission reports that falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults. Delayed response to falls—especially for isolated or disabled individuals—can result in severe complications.

Milesight VS373: Real-Time Fall Detection

The Milesight VS373 Radar Fall Detection Sensor addresses this urgent need with an industrial IoT solution. The sensor employs advanced 4D 60-GHz mmWave radar with MIMO Array technology to detect falls with high precision. It provides non-contact monitoring without requiring wearable devices, significantly reducing false alarms while improving detection accuracy.

The VS373 integrates Milesight D2D communication protocol, enabling seamless connectivity between multiple devices for efficient real-time data exchange. The sensor operates through three distinct phases—Confirmation Phase, First Alert Phase, and Emergency Alert Phase—ensuring accurate event handling and appropriate response escalation.

LoRaWAN Connectivity for Healthcare Facilities

The VS373 leverages LoRaWAN protocol for long-range, low-power communication, enabling seamless integration across hospitals, care facilities, and healthcare settings. Beyond fall detection, it monitors room occupancy, detects prolonged immobility, and tracks bed presence. When a fall is detected, immediate alerts are sent to caregivers and emergency services, dramatically reducing response time and improving patient outcomes.
