The proposed paper describes implementation of wearable sensors into smart household environment. Wearable sensor prototype is based on MEMS inertial measurement unit, containing accelerometer and gyroscope. Fall detection using wearable sensors has been determined as suitable function in several implementations. Fall detection algorithm, considering information about acceleration, tilt and angular velocity was developed and tested. Communication of IMU with PC is described as well as experimental verification of the algorithm.
