Human fall detection

INMIC, 2013
Fall-induced injuries are common in the elderly population. Delay or lack of medical care after the occurrence of a fall often results in injuries, sometimes severe, and can also lead to death in some cases. Falls, therefore, are critical occurrences for the elderly.

Fall detection using multiple cameras

2008 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2008
Today, different ways are suggested to help elderly people in case of emergency. Our aim here is to propose a novel method, without any wearable device, to detect falls on the floor with a multiple cameras system. This proposal uses image analysis to localise people and reconstruct their 3D shape and position.

Fall detection - Principles and Methods

2007 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2007
Fall detection of the elderly is a major public health problem. Thus it has generated a wide range of applied research and prompted the development of telemonitoring systems to enable the early diagnosis of fall conditions. This article is a survey of systems, algorithms and sensors, for the automatic early detection of the fall of elderly persons.

Simulated fall detection via accelerometers

2008 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2008
We have derived a fall detection algorithm with high sensitivity and specificity from a single accelerometer device worn at the hip. A small clinical trial to obtain accelerometer data corresponding with actual falls experienced by elderly patients failed to provide a statistically significant number of fall events from which to develop an algorithm ...

Personalized Fall Detection System

2020 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops), 2020
This paper explores the personalization of smartwatch-based fall detection models trained using a combination of deep neural networks with ensemble techniques. Deep neural networks face practical challenges when used for fall detection, which in general tend to have limited training samples and imbalanced datasets. Moreover, many motions generated by a

Wearable fall detection system

2016 3rd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering (MECBME), 2016
Falling is a serious issue among 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.
