Abstract

Falling is a major challenge faced by elderly and disabled people who live alone. They therefore need reliable surveillance so they can be assisted in the event of a fall. An effective fall detection system is needed to provide good care to such people as it will allow for communication with caregivers. Such a system will not only reduce the medical costs related to falls but also lower the death rate among elderly and disabled people due to falls. This review paper presents a survey of different fall detection techniques and algorithms used for fall detection. Various fall detection approaches including wearable, vision, ambience, and multimodal systems are analyzed and compared and recommendations are presented.
