At just 13 years old, Kevin Tang is establishing himself in the world of science and senior care − all with the goal of keeping his grandma safe.
The Southern California eighth grader just won $25,000 and the title of "America's Top Young Scientist" for his fall detection invention, a monitoring device for seniors. It's different from Life Alert and other brands that offer devices seniors wear around their necks, in their pockets or on their wrists. Kevin's invention, FallGuard, is a camera monitoring system with an algorithm he programmed to identify falls and alert caregivers.
Kevin's device isn't wearable. Instead, users set up FallGuard cameras around their home that connect to a small computer to monitor for falls.
