BERLIN: IBM and British start-up Cera Care plan a six-month pilot to test whether lidar laser sensors, used to help self-driving cars"see", can enable elderly people to stay in their homes for longer: without compromising privacy.
Even though lidar doesn't recognise faces, some consumers may be concerned about the amount of tracking and location data collected and the ability to see repeatable patterns, he said. "Technology like this can help us solve that gap between demand and supply because it means we can pinpoint when a careworker needs to be in a person's home," Maruthappu told Reuters.
Nicola Palmarini, IBM's top research scientist for ageing and longevity, says lidar - which doesn't recognise personal characteristics such as faces, age and gender - provides precise data without people feeling like they are being watched.
