Abstract

Falling is a serious issue among the old aged population; it leads to severe injuries and consequences. Inability to move after a fall means that the subject cannot ask for help by himself, which increases the percentage of fall induced injuries significantly. The objective of this paper is to design and implement a fall detection and alert system for elderly persons. It aims to facilitate help after a fall, by sending an alert to the caregiver after a fall has been detected. The device can accurately distinguish falls from non-falls of elderly persons with the help of the MPU6050 and upon learning that a fall has been detected it will trigger the Esp8266-wifi module and that will send an SMS to the caregiver for help. The developed prototype was evaluated and showed satisfactory performance.
