Abstract

There has been a considerable increase in the population proportion of senior people among global population. Fall often happens among these senior people, which is also the leading cause of their death. A real-time fall detection system may help us to detect fall events among elderly people in time and reduce the overall casualty rate. This paper proposed a home-based, real-time fall detection system that not only can distinguish up to 4 different kinds of fall events (forward, backward, rightward and leftward), but is also portable, low-cost and with high accuracy rate. The system includes a real-time fall detection band, a home server, and GSM instant messaging function which can transfer fall alert, send emergency help messages.
