Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Computer Science

Background:

Fall detection is vital for elderly community care, requiring both accuracy and energy efficiency.
Existing systems often struggle to balance detection performance with power consumption.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an energy-efficient sensor module and a deep neural network for accurate fall detection in the elderly.
To improve the reliability and reduce the health risks associated with falls in community-dwelling older adults.

Main Methods:

An energy-efficient sensor module was developed to sense and cache human activity data in sleep mode.
An interrupt-driven algorithm transmitted data via ZigBee to a server.
A deep neural network for fall detection (FD-DNN), combining CNN and LSTM, was implemented on the server.

Main Results:

The FD-DNN achieved 99.17% fall detection accuracy.
Specificity and sensitivity were recorded at 99.94% and 94.09%, respectively.
The system demonstrated low power consumption characteristics.

Conclusions:

The integrated system effectively detects falls with high accuracy and low power usage.
This approach is suitable for community-based elderly care, enhancing safety and reducing health risks.
