SensorFall - An Accelerometer Based Mobile Application
Ivo C. Lopes, Binod Vaidya, Joel J. P. C. Rodrigues · 2009
In recent years, the use of sensors in mobile devices is extremely desirable. In particular, an accelerometer can be used for numerous applications such as tracking objects or monitoring elderly people. This paper presents an application tool based on an accelerometer, called SensorFall, to detect and notify the acceleration caused by a fall. We have implemented and verified the SensorFall in several environments, such as in a hospital or in a regular daily life, for older people. The obtained results show that it performs well.
