Introducing Silver Shield, the Most Advanced Human-Centric Monitoring Technology Ever Created
In an industry crying out for innovation, Spark Care introduces a solution that's set to redefine care delivery across the United Kingdom. Today marks the launch of Silver Shield - not just another monitoring system, but a revolutionary technology that's already transforming care environments globally with unprecedented fall reduction rates and staff efficiency gains.
A Vision Born from Necessity
Every 60 seconds, someone in a UK care home suffers a fall. The human cost is immeasurable, while the financial impact on our care sector exceeds £2 billion annually. With an ageing population and 400,000 UK care home residents, the challenge of falls represents one of the sector's most pressing concerns. Each year:
- Over 255,000 hospital admissions among over-65s are due to falls
- Falls account for 40% of ambulance call-outs to care homes
- 1 in 3 people aged 65+ will fall at least once a year
- Falls result in an average hospital stay of 14 days
- The NHS spends £2.3 billion annually treating fall injuries
This critical challenge demanded a revolutionary solution - enter Silver Shield.
The Visionary Leadership Behind Silver Shield
In the pursuit of excellence, two extraordinary minds have united to create something remarkable. Dr Yihong Qi, Co-founder and CTO, brings the technical brilliance that shaped BlackBerry's wireless innovations - work that proved instrumental in developing the technology we now take for granted in modern smartphones. With over 500 patents and 140+ peer-reviewed publications, his expertise in electromagnetic systems has created a solution that seemed impossible just years ago.
Working alongside him, Alex Qi, Co-founder and CEO, brings the strategic vision that transforms groundbreaking technology into practical solutions. His experience as a management consultant at Kearney and MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business ensures Silver Shield doesn't just push technical boundaries - it solves real-world care challenges.
