Abstract:

The mobile application is capable of detecting possible falls for elderly, through the use of special sensors. The alert messages contain useful information about the people in danger, such as his/her geo location and also corresponding directions on a map. In occasions of false alerts, the supervised person is given the ability to estimate the value of importance of a possible alert and to stop it before being transmitted. The system is capable of monitoring ELDERLY PEOPLE in real time. The system, including calibration of accelerometers and measurement is explained in detail. This fall detection system is designed to detect the accidental fall of the elderly and alert the carers or their loved ones via Smart-Messaging Services (SMS) immediately. This fall detection is created using microcontroller technology as the heart of the system, the accelerometer as to detect the sudden movement or fall and the Global System for Mobile (GSM) modem, to send out SMS to the care taker.
