Survey on Fall Detection and Fall Prevention Using Wearable and External Sensors
According to nihseniorhealth.gov (a website for older adults), falling represents a great threat as people get older, and providing mechanisms to detect and prevent falls is critical to improve people's lives. Over 1.6 million U.S. adults are treated for fall-related injuries in emergency rooms every year suffering fractures, loss of independence, and even death. It is clear then, that this pro...
متن کاملWearable Fall Detector using Integrated Sensors and Energy Devices
Wearable devices have attracted great attentions as next-generation electronic devices. For the comfortable, portable, and easy-to-use system platform in wearable electronics, a key requirement is to replace conventional bulky and rigid energy devices into thin and deformable ones accompanying the capability of long-term energy supply. Here, we demonstrate a wearable fall detection system compo...
متن کاملFall Risks Assessment and Fall Prediction among Community Dwelling Elderly Using Wearable Wireless Sensors
This study examines the predictive ability of fall risks among community dwelling elderly using wearable wireless sensors. Forty-eight community-dwelling elderly (17 non-fallers and 31 fallers) participated in the study. Timed up and go test, sit-to-stand test and ten-meter walking test were carried out. Activitiesspecific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale was also obtained. The results showed fai...

متن کاملContext-Based Fall Detection Using Inertial and Location Sensors
Falls are some of the most common sources of injury among the elderly. A fall is particularly critical when the elderly person is injured and cannot call for help. This problem is addressed by many fall-detection systems, but they often focus on isolated falls under restricted conditions, neglecting complex, real-life situations. In this paper a combination of body-worn inertial and location se...
