Background:

Falls pose a significant threat to the elderly, causing injuries, disabilities, and mortality.
Unobtrusive, continuous monitoring systems are needed for effective fall prevention and care in older adults.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an in-home sensor system for continuous fall risk monitoring and fall detection in older adults.
To assess the system's potential to revolutionize fall prevention and enhance elder care.

Main Methods:

Developed an in-home system using pulse-Doppler radar, Microsoft Kinect, and web cameras.
Collected data over 2 years in 19 senior living apartments, including simulated falls and standardized fall risk assessments (FRAs).
Utilized gait parameters measured on a GAITRite mat as ground truth for algorithm development and comparison.

Main Results:

High correlation (p < .01) between FRAs and Kinect-derived gait velocity and stride length.
Significant correlation (p < .05 to p < .01) between radar velocity and FRAs.
Real-time fall alerts are successfully transmitted to clinicians, enabling faster emergency responses.

Conclusions:

The developed in-home fall risk assessment and detection system shows promise for enabling older adults to maintain independence.
The system has the potential to improve functional ability and support longer independent living at home.
