| dc.description.abstract | 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. | pt_PT |
