Detection of falls using accelerometers and mobile phone technology.
OBJECTIVES to study the sensitivity and specificity of fall detection using mobile phone technology. DESIGN an experimental investigation using motion signals detected by the mobile phone. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS the research was conducted in a laboratory setting, and 18 healthy adults (12 males and 6 females; age = 29 ± 8.7 years) were recruited. MEASUREMENT each participant was request...
متن کاملCompAcc: Using Mobile Phone Compasses and Accelerometers for Localization
This paper identifies the possibility of using electronic compasses and accelerometers in mobile phones, as a simple and scalable method of localization. The idea is not fundamentally different from ship or air navigation systems, known for centuries. Nonetheless, directly applying the idea to human-scale environments is non-trivial. Noisy phone sensors and complicated human movements present p...
متن کاملDetecting Falls Using Accelerometers by Adaptive Thresholds in Mobile Devices
In this preliminary work, we presented an effective and efficient algorithm on adaptive thresholds to automatically recognize falls from acceleration signals collected by a single tri-axial accelerometer in a mobile phone. Initial thresholds depend mainly on their carrying position of mobile phones, and then are adjusted automatically by a self-learning process and a classification module. Our ...

متن کاملDetecting Falls with Location Sensors and Accelerometers
Due to the rapid aging of the population, many technical solutions for the care of the elderly are being developed, often involving fall detection with accelerometers. We present a novel approach to fall detection with location sensors. In our application, a user wears up to four tags on the body whose locations are detected with radio sensors. This makes it possible to recognize the user’s act...
