An Accurate Fall Detection System for the Elderly People Using Smartphone Inertial Sensors

In developed countries, the number of elderly people living alone is continuously increasing. These people are more vulnerable to serious health issues, such as falling down. A sensor-based system, augmented to mobile phones, can provide a much-needed prediction to the falls, where injuries and fracture possibilities can be significantly decreased. The purpose of this study is to develop a fall recognition system based on smartphone inertial...
