Smart Fall Detection

Smart Fall Detection application was developed as result of master research in field of computer and artificial intelligence, by Hamideh Kerdegari under supervision of Dr. Khairulmizam samsudin. Department of Computer and Communication Systems Engineering, University Putra Malaysia (UPM).

Description:
Smart Fall Detection uses Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to process the acceleration signals. The ANN was trained with 1000 samples of fall and non-fall patterns to detect the fall among elderly and helps them by increasing their independency. This application follows three states: Fall-checking state, Long-lie state and Fall-state. In Fall-checking state system looks for occurrence of fall by reading the acceleration data and using ANN. When ANN detects the fall, the system enters to Long-lie state. In this state the system checks the long-lie and if any movement happens it turns back in Fall-checking state, otherwise after at least 30 seconds it enters to Fall-state. In this state the siren plays back and after at least 60 seconds a help request text message will be sent to specified emergency contact by SMS and whenever GPS data is available, second text message including the exact location of falling will be sent by SMS.
