Abstract
There are people whose state of health requires permanent supervision. There are a number of medical or aging-related conditions that can have quite an impact on the daily life of these people, therefore, in order to provide them with proper assistance and care, various health monitoring devices have been developed. This article proposes the use of advanced technologies with the help of which we can observe and record the changes in the position of a person with such problems. The equipment has a sensor that can determine the position of the body by measuring the height from the ground. The device can be integrated into a belt or bracelet to record data in real time. This data is analyzed and interpreted by means of a program. The program can detect changes in posture, providing notifications and alerts when the person has suffered a fall. Greatly simplifying surveillance, the device also provides an objective assessment of a person's balance ability. Since each person has a specific posture and movement, the developed device must be tested and adapted to adjust the coefficients in the program, to avoid the triggering of false events.
