Enhancing fall prediction in the elderly people using LBP features and transfer learning model

Abstract

In an era where the detection and prevention of falls are crucial for the well-being of elderly and vulnerable individuals, achieving high accuracy in identifying such incidents is of utmost importance. This study introduces a modified NASNet, a novel transformer learning model designed for the classification of fall and not fall people based on local binary patterns (LBP) features. The modified NASNet model demonstrates high performance, achieving an accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score of 99% with LBP features in differentiating fall from not fall. To assess the performance of NASNet, this research work conducted a comparative analysis with other prominent deep learning, and transfer learning models, as well as state-of-the-art machine learning frameworks. The findings indicate NASNet's enhanced performance in fall detection, highlighting its potential for application in real-time fall detection systems, contributing to a safer environment for individuals at risk. This research sets the stage for enhanced healthcare and assistance for vulnerable populations, addressing a critical concern in the healthcare sector.
