Abstract

Falls pose significant risks for elderly and physically challenged individuals, presenting a prominent concern in public health care. Detecting falls remains a crucial challenge within this domain. This study proposes a Health Care Monitoring System for detecting falls and monitoring pulse rates among paralyzed patients using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. IoT facilitates the interconnection of various smart devices, a concept with widespread applicability. Specifically, an Arduino-based IoT device has been developed to detect falls, primarily targeting elderly individuals living alone. Prompt assistance is vital in such scenarios to prevent further harm, as falls often result in serious injuries and may leave individuals unable to seek help. The primary objective of this project is to implement fall detection on an Arduino-based device, utilizing an accelerometer to sense the person's position along three axes. Upon fall detection, the device automatically notifies a designated caretaker through both a phone call and SMS alert.
