Mostly, the older people are living their own life alone or being separated from their younger ones due to many factors. As they live alone, they tend to fall. This fall leads to various health related problem and even lead to death. In this work, an Internet of Things (IoT) based fall prediction and alerting device plays a major role in helping these older peoples, as it is difficult to look after continuously. Further, the proposed device is designed in a way that whenever the patient is about to fall, the buzzer gives alarming sound by sensing the value from the accelerometer and gyroscope sensor and comparing with the threshold value in order to indicate the patient. Also, the device sends the alerting messages to their guardian once they fell. Result demonstrates that the message alerts the patient guardian and makes the patient to get help in time. By this way, the special care is ensured to take care of those people and can avoid these problems.
