Smart wearable system for fall detection in elderly people using Internet of Things platform
Sonal Chandrakant Chavan, Arun Chavan · 2017
Implementation of information and communication technologies such as mobile phones and wireless sensor networks becomes more and more common in the field of telemonitoring, in particular, to detect emergency situations and to monitor the wellbeing of elderly people, allowing them to stay at home independently as long as possible. Here the system is developed to make sure when the indoor fall occurs, it should be correctly detected and the alert of this is sent to the mobile. This leads to very small and cost effective solution as the wearable device that can be synchronized with recent technology such as Internet of Things (IoT) for security measures. We are using sensors, Internet of Things to connect the sensors with real time application, GSM to alert the relative through message and one database server to record the readings for further applications.
