More and more elderly people live now alone. They need to be quickly attended in case of fall or fainting. This paper brings a software system to automatically detect this kind of situations at home. It is a practical solution to get in touch those old people living alone with their family in case of such dangerous situation. Familiars would receive notifications in their mobile phone in the same way that they receive notifications for many other matters. The main system use a Kinect v2 to monitor every movement of the person at home. Just when the internal algorithms detects the possible troubles, familiars are notified even with a piece of video to check possible false positives.
