Which technologies for the detection and alert in case of fall?

The BiVACS project (BiVACS for "Bien Vivre son Autonomie Chez Soi", Independant Well being at Home) proposes the establishment of exchanges and meetings between people with loss of autonomy, professionals (of health, medical and social, social or industry) and family caregivers. A multidisciplinary working group was set up to establish the needs on the theme of the fall, to show, to manipulate and to "evaluate" existing solutions, and to lead to recommendations for industrialists developing such solutions. This article provides recommendations to support the awareness of issues related to the fall, to accompany the dissemination and implementation of technologies for detecting and warning of falling, and improve existing solutions.
