Abstract

Falls are the most frequent external cause of death for older adults, where bathrooms are a particulary dangerous environment. We propose an autonomous, ubiquitous, low-cost fall detection system based on ultrasonic and piezoelectric sensors, which takes into account privacy concerns as well as bathroom-specific hazardous environmental influences to technology. The system was implemented and tested in a real-world scenario.
