Nyon : a ubiquitous fall detection device for elders
Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
Falls are one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in the elderly worldwide. This had let to the research and development of electronic fall-detection systems. We propose a complete fall-detection system, that combines a wearable device (called Nyon) and a message microservice (for email and SMS) to alert caregiver every time a fall occurs. The wearable uses a simple threshold method and has the capability of search and switch between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, using the available communication technology when a fall occurs. The results have shown that the wearable autonomy is adequate for a daily use and the server microservices are reliable and deliver a message to the caregiver every time a fall alert occurs. Several improvements are planned to increase the autonomy and range of the wearable device.
