METHOD AND SYSTEM TO IMPROVE ACCURACY OF FALL DETECTION USING MULTI-SENSOR FUSION

Abstract:

A system for determining that a monitored person has fallen. The system includes sensors for measuring historic parameters that are indicative of a prior condition of the monitored person during a prior time interval, and for measuring current parameters that are indicative of a current condition of the monitored person. An analysis component determines statistical values based on the historic parameters, analyzes the current sensed parameter values relative to those statistical values, and determines whether the monitored person may fall or has fallen.
