- Abstract
Falls that lead to fatal injury have become a great challenge that cannot be neglected for elderly people. In this study, a surveillance system based on SensorTag and Windows 10 IoT Core for real-time fall detection is proposed. Raw data including three-dimensional accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer are provided by SensotTag. Windows 10 IoT Core device makes use of these information to get the orientation of the subject by efficient data fusion and fall detection algorithms. Microsoft Azure services and Mobile/PC applications are also designed to achieve seamless data processing, analyzing, storing and acquiring at any time from any place as long as they have access to the Internet. Tests of the proposed system are performed according to experimental protocols including intentional falls and activities of daily lives. The results show that the proposed fall detection solution is reliable and effective.
