Abstract
Fear of falling is becoming the most common fear among people aged 65 and over,with a prevalence that varies within the range of 12% to 92% [1]. Monitoring the elderly's physical activity is highly recommended in order to improve their health. Several reports have demonstrated that a fall does not always result in a fear of falling, which may be caused by factors other than the fall itself[2][3]. Falls, on the other hand, and fear of falling share one feature: they are both associated with walking disorders. Falls are considered a significant risk that primarily affects the elderly. Slowness of movement, loss of motion, and balance issues are common in the elderly. In this article, we have proposed an intelligent insole system to detect falls, monitor patients’ physiological parameters, and reduce their fear of falling. Thus, the elderly will be surrounded in real time by professional clinicians working remotely to control them during their daily activities.
