Abstract
The governments are investing in research on solutions for independent living, active ageing, at home health monitoring, with the objective of a significant prolongation of personal autonomy of older people. Fall avoidance and fall detection is important aspect of health care of ageing people. The fall detection system consists in a wireless network with a smartphone and a board with another 3-axis accelerometer. The algorithm for fall detection is a part of a user friendly application developed for the smartphone. A comparison with existing fall detection systems and algorithms is reported.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
