Abstract

The aim of this research work is to develop a wearable and IoT-based fall detection system that can potentially be integrated within a smart home or a community health center to improve the quality of life of the elderly. This system would enable caregivers to remotely monitor the activities of their dependents and to immediately be notified of falls as adverse events. The proposed hardware architecture includes a processor, a triaxial accelerometer, a barometric pressure sensor, a Wi-Fi module, and battery packs. This unobtrusive architecture causes no interference with daily living while monitoring the falls. The output of the fall detection algorithm is a two-state flag, transmitted to a remote server in real-time.
