Human Fall Detection Using New MEMS Accelerometer Technology
For humans, an unobserved fall can have very serious consequences. Statistics show that the majority of serious consequences are not the direct result of falling, but rather are due to a delay in assistance and treatment. Post-fall consequences can be greatly reduced if relief personnel can be alerted in time.
