SubscribeWe're looking for fall detection. And the way Quil Health does that right now is we learn the blueprint of the home, essentially. So we look for patterns in how they move throughout that home. And as they pass through these different sensor zones, we can understand if they are in a hallway or in a stairwell for longer than expected then there's a high probability that they've had some sort of event in there. And from that we can raise a concern to the family member to say, Hey you might want to contact mom or dad and find out what's going on. Have they fallen or something like that.

If we wanto to move into a digital era, what does the technology look like? What is that technical foundation that you're going to build upon look like? So part of the role is, Hey, do you have an understanding of how cloud technology should really work? Do you have an understanding of what the API and the open source world looks like? And just having that understanding doesn't mean just take it and drop it into healthcare because there's different sensitivities in this industry. But understanding that technology allows you to come in and really poke holes and say, how can it work and what should it look like within healthcare?

There’s an assumption that those of us in professional roles think we know a lot, but unless we have lived the challenges that people of color in low income communities are living, then we are likely missing some important information. And so trying to co-design a system together with them is, I think, the starting point for dealing with that complexity.
