Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Background:

Falls are a significant health risk for the elderly, necessitating advanced detection systems.
The aging global population increases the demand for reliable fall detection solutions.
Existing systems using single sensors often have high false alarm rates.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a comprehensive literature survey on elderly fall detection using sensor networks and the Internet of Things (IoT).
To analyze various approaches, including sensor fusion, for improved fall detection performance.
To identify research gaps and future directions in the field.

Main Methods:

Literature review of existing studies on elderly fall detection.
Analysis of sensor fusion techniques for combining data from multiple sensors.
Examination of data collection, transmission, analysis, security, and privacy aspects.
Review of benchmark datasets for performance evaluation.

Main Results:

Sensor fusion significantly enhances accuracy and reduces false alarms compared to single-sensor systems.
Robustness of fall detection systems is improved through the integration of diverse sensor data.
The survey covers multiple facets of fall detection system development.

Conclusions:

Sensor fusion is a promising approach for developing more accurate and reliable elderly fall detection systems.
Further research is needed to optimize sensor fusion strategies and address security/privacy concerns.
This survey provides a valuable resource for researchers in elderly fall detection.
