Detection & Notification of Human Body Fall using Accelerometer Sensor

For the elderly people the rate of death due to the fall is increased recently. CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) stated that falls are one of the major cause for both the fatal and non-fatal injuries. Simple fall such as slipping may seem harmless but they can actually lead to severe injury or death in the senior citizens. CDC created the STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries) initiative to make fall prevention routine. Physical activity and inactivity mechanisms differ and it is not maintained properly. In addition, physical activity primarily prevents accidents soon to make precaution. In our system, we are implementing system where the complete activities of the patient are monitored using advanced Accelerometer sensor, the predefined alert of the patient can be determined and alert can be done to the patients. Here, accelerometer sensor is placed on the body. Motion tracking devices designed for the low power, low cost, and high-performance requirements of smart wearable sensors. In this the determined data is given to the data processing unit. The sample test has been done on the people, various gestures are predefined and it will investigate the body activities and it will through the data samples from the processing unit.
