Fall occurring in older people is of major concern in medical environment as they are more prone to unexpected and unpredictable falls. Such falls often leads to injury and death in elderly. Hence, an automated fall detection mechanism using multiple sensing and event detection methods are required to analyze the activities of elderly. This paper presents a system considering 3-axis accelerometer sensor to detect the fall in home environment. Intelligent modeling technique such as ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) classifier is employed in this paper to detect the fall with reduced computational complexity and more accuracy. Using ANFIS, the data obtained from 3-axis accelerometer is classified under one of the five states (standing, sitting, walking, falling and lying) and backpropogation method is used for weight updation. Weighted average method which provides crisp value is used for de-fuzzification process. Features such as mean, median and standard deviation are considered for training the neural network. When the activity is recognized as fall, the patient heart rate and ECG are examined to detect abnormality and alarm is raised.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
