Technologies need to be introduced at a much earlier stage so the clients can become familiar with and understand the technologies before a crisis episode when their level of comprehension is not up to trying new things. People cannot be forced to wear or use technologies no matter how beneficial they are deemed by professionals. Robust maintenance routines are needed to ensure that technologies are working and their functionality and reliability has not been compromised by some external event. Problems such as false alarms and the wearability issue can easily put people off using fall detectors. Other ways of flagging up falls, using non-worn devices, needs to be explored because of the lack of compliance with worn fall detectors. Operational procedures outlining clear roles of responsibility for responses to and maintenance of technologies must be developed.
