We report the fall detection sensor system that can detect a person falling down on the ground. The fall detection sensor system monitors the vital sign, accelerometers and angle velocities. The person's pulse is used as the vital sign. The fall detection algorithm using these signals enables us to detect the fall correctly. Especially, the fall detection algorithm using the vital sign was able to distinguish the case which person didn't fall to keep their balance though the fall began.
