Abstract

Monitoring the health of the elderly people through wearable equipment helps to reduce the health and medical expenses associated with falls in the elderly people. The technology of falling detection is analyzed, and a fall detection and alarm system based on triaxle acceleration sensor and gyroscope is proposed. Three-axis acceleration sensor and gyroscope real-time collect data from the elderly people in the daily activities of the acceleration and angular velocity data. The software running on the mobile phone to analyze the data received and determines the movement of the elderly people state. When the system detects a fall occurs, the ringing tone to remind the elderly, the elderly people can confirm the alarm or cancel false positives. If there is no response within 20s, the system will notify the contact according to the set alarm by means of messages and call. The elderly can also alarm when feel ill.
