Jersey considers using new technology to allow elderly more independence

As a result of an aging population Jersey is considering implementing new technology to help elder people continue to live on their own. The Islands number of people over the age of 65 is expected to double by 2035 and as result the new hospital is worried about the number of accidents involving elderly people will also increase. The solution is to install high tech sensors in the homes of elders or other at risk people that will send alerts to relatives or carers if any accidents occur.
