Abstract EN

We propose the fall detection and localized caring system to effectively detect the postures of a human and provide a service of remote connection with health care center.

Especially, when elderly people fall down, they often need to be hospitalized.

The system can inform the care center automatically through the wireless sensor network and send the rapid information of the incident for their family through the mobile phone.

It also provides the location of incident for immediate rescue by dispatching medical staff from the center.

The experimental results show that our system achieves the accurate rate of 99.9% for detecting a human fall and provides the care services effectively.
