A Fall and Near-Fall Assessment and Evaluation System
The FANFARE (Falls And Near Falls Assessment Research and Evaluation) project has developed a system to fulfill the need for a wearable device to collect data for fall and near-falls analysis. The system consists of a computer and a wireless sensor network to measure, display, and store fall related parameters such as postural activities and heart rate variability. Ease of use and low power are...
متن کاملA Fall Detection System based on the Type II Fuzzy Logic and Multi-Objective PSO Algorithm
The Elderly health is an important and noticeable issue; since these people are priceless resources of experience in the society. Elderly adults are more likely to be severely injured or to die following falls. Hence, fast detection of such incidents may even lead to saving the life of the injured person. Several techniques have been proposed lately for the fall detection of people, mostly cate...
متن کاملFall-MobileGuard: a Smart Real-Time Fall Detection System
This paper proposes Fall-MobileGuard, a novel real-time non-invasive fall detection and alarm notification system. The proposed system, in particular, is able to recognize different types of falls and is based on a wearable inertial sensor node, equipped with a tri-axial accelerometer, worn at the waist and a personal mobile device. The detection method consists of two main processing blocks; t...
متن کاملIn-home fall risk assessment and detection sensor system.
Falls are a major problem in older adults. A continuous, unobtrusive, environmentally mounted (i.e., embedded into the environment and not worn by the individual), in-home monitoring system that automatically detects when falls have occurred or when the risk of falling is increasing could alert health care providers and family members to intervene to improve physical function or manage illnesse...
متن کاملRetrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
