As a result of such a training protocol, fall detectors inevitably exhibit lower performance when used in real-world situations, in which monitored subjects are older adults. The aim of this study is to investigate a fully privacy-preserving and high-acceptance sensing technology, i.e. ultra-...
The elderly population is growing rapidly. Fall related injuries are a central problem for this population. Elderly people desire to live at home, and thus, new technologies, such as automated fall detectors, are needed to support their independence and security. The aim of this study was to ...
is of special relevance if we consider that the detectors are not expected to be adjusted (or trained) with movements, especially falls, of the final users (older people) for whom these devices are targeted. To cover this lack, this paper focuses on analyzing the impact of the physical char...
Table 8. Comparison of different fall detectors with the one proposed in this work. Despite the promising results obtained by the proposed approaches, based on the obtained accuracy rates, there are some limitations that need to be addressed in order to improve the system. The fall detection ...
Fall accidents in industrial and construction environments require an immediate reaction, to provide first aid. Shortening the time between the fall and the relevant personnel being notified can significantly improve the safety and health of workers. Therefore, in this work, an IoT system for real-...
causing adjustable coefficients of difference amongst the sensors. Test-retest variability had been acceptable. In line with the conclusions of theEnfermedad cardiovascularstudy, professionals should be careful whenever measuring rate and distance making use of Polar Team Pro detectors in interior options,...
Falls are a major health problem among the elderly. The consequences of a fall can be minimized by an early detection. In this sense, there is an emerging trend towards the development of agent systems based on mobile phones for fall detection. But when
Fall related injuries are a central problem for this population. Elderly people desire to live at home, and thus, new technologies, such as automated fall detectors, are needed to support their independence and security. The aim of this study was to evaluate different low-complexity fall ...
As a result of such a training protocol, fall detectors inevitably exhibit lower performance when used in real-world situations, in which monitored subjects are older adults. The aim of this study is to investigate a fully privacy-preserving and high-acceptance sensing technology, i.e. ultra-...
Continuous monitoring of vital signs and activity measures has the potential to provide remote health monitoring and rapid detection of critical events such as heart attacks and falls. This paper proposes a multimodal system for monitoring the elderly at their homes. The system proposed contains three...
