PerFallD: A pervasive fall detection system using mobile phones
Falls are a major health risk that diminish the quality of life among elderly people. With the elderly population surging, especially with aging "baby boomers", fall detection becomes increasingly important. However, ex­ isting commercial products and academic solutions struggle to achieve pervasive fall detection. In this paper, we propose utilizing mobile phones as a platform for pervasive fall detection system development. To our knowledge, we are the first to do so. We design a detection algorithm based on mobile phone platforms. We propose PerFaUD, a pervasive fall detection sys­ tem implemented on mobile phones. We implement a prototype system on the Android Gl phone and conduct experiments to evaluate our system. In particular, we compare PerFaIID's performance with that of existing work and a commercial product. Experimental results show that PerFailD achieves strong detection performance and power efficiency. Keywords-Fall detection; Mobile phones; Acceleromet...
