Abstract:
|
Falls in older adults are not only frequent but also potentially disabling
for them. Detecting and preventing these falls have an important impact in the life
of the elderly people. This paper presents the architecture of a pervasive system
designed to perform early detection of older adults in risk of falling or fell down.
The system notifies the appropriate people or healthcare organizations in case
of detecting a fall of the monitored person. This monitoring process produces
minimum disruption in the life style of the elderly. |
