Abstract

 Elderly people frequently experience major problems with falls that lead to injuries and loss of freedom. In this research, we suggest an inexpensive embedded IoT system for senior fall detection and emergency alerts. According to the World Health Organization, falls are the second most common global cause of unintended or accidental injury deaths, accounting for an estimated 646,000 fatalities annually. In addition to deadly injuries, falls can result in non-fatal injuries including hip fractures, which can significantly reduce mobility and freedom. The system comprises of an easily-adhesive detachable device that can be worn on the belt or in a shirt pocket. A SIM800L GSM modem, an MPU9250 9-axis gyro sensor, a GPS module, a panic button, and a rechargeable battery are all components of the gadget. Falls are detected by the MPU9250 sensor, and an emergency warning can be sent by pressing the panic button. The system is made to be inexpensive, simple to operate, and dependable, making it appropriate for wide-spread application in geriatric care. According to preliminary findings, the system can reliably identify falls and issue emergency alarms, proving its potential to increase elderly people's safety and wellbeing.
