Wearable-Sensor-Based Fall Detection System Provide Safe and Accurate Assessment of Body Movement
A sensor-based human falling detection system uses small wearable sensors to detect, recognize and prioritize body motion patterns of human body movement, and to send an alert to a designated mobile dispatching station to determine the safest route to follow. The system has been designed for both the police and the military to aid in the recovery of lost or injured individuals. The system utilizes state-of-the-art technologies to collect the data to be used in these applications. It is designed in such a manner that all the information is kept confidential and protected from unauthorized use. The sensors used in the detection system are not visible and can easily be removed to ensure total privacy. In fact, the sensors can easily be attached to clothing without any harm to the person wearing the apparel. Sensor-based fall detection systems are capable of providing a quick and accurate assessment of whether or not the individual falls. They can detect different types of motion such as ...
