The second detection category utilizes various environmental elements. For example, acoustic sensors measure the sound of falls32; pressure sensors measure the weight changes on the floor33. Infrared sensors map out a person’s heat signature and ultrasound detectors process the return signal34,35. N...

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

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-...
Therefore, most wearables for fall detection were designed to be attached to the waist, thigh, or chest [8]. 1.1. Problem Statement and Assumption Commonly, state-of-the-art methods for wearable fall detectors are either analytical-based or machine learning-based, for which the latter received...
Thus, home care, mobility and safety are central concepts in the way elderly perceive mobile phones. Preliminary results of the evaluation of several assistive technologies with real users (commented in [29]) show that fall detectors are favorably appreciated by older people. According to the ...
