Abstract [en]
A wrist worn fall detection system has been developed where the accelerometer data from an angel sensor is analyzed by a two-layered algorithm in an android phone. Here, the first layer uses a threshold to find potential falls and if the thresholds are met, then in the second layer a machine learning i.e., k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) algorithm analyses the data to differentiate it from Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in order to filter out false positives. The final result of this project using the k-NN algorithm provides a classification sensitivity of 96.4%. Here, the acquired sensitivity is 88.1% for the fall detection and the specificity for ADL is 98.1%.
