A ZigBee-Based Location-Aware Fall Detection System for Improving Elderly Telecare
Falls are the primary cause of accidents among the elderly and frequently cause fatal and non-fatal injuries associated with a large amount of medical costs. Fall detection using wearable wireless sensor nodes has the potential of improving elderly telecare. This investigation proposes a ZigBee-based location-aware fall detection system for elderly telecare that provides an unobstructed communi...
متن کاملHONEY: a multimodality fall detection and telecare system.
BACKGROUND The increasing cost in terms of money and healthcare resources is driving healthcare providers to provide home-based telecare instead of institutionalized healthcare. Falling is one of the most common and dangerous accidents for elderly individuals and a significant factor affecting the living quality of the elderly. Many efforts have been put toward providing a robust method to dete...
متن کاملHome Camera-Based Fall Detection System for the Elderly
Falls are the leading cause of injury and death in elderly individuals. Unfortunately, fall detectors are typically based on wearable devices, and the elderly often forget to wear them. In addition, fall detectors based on artificial vision are not yet available on the market. In this paper, we present a new low-cost fall detector for smart homes based on artificial vision algorithms. Our detec...
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 کاملA Depth Camera Based Fall Recognition System for the Elderly
Falls are a great risk for elderly people living alone. Falls can result in serious injuries and in some cases even deaths. It is important to recognize them early and provide assistance. In this paper we present a novel computer vision based fall recognition system which combines depth map with normal color information. With this combination it is possible to achieve better results as depth ma...
