Use a Circuit Playground Categorical to watch for falls. Dan Elijis and Michelle Mendelzburg got here up with this mission to assist aged individuals who dwell alone and are in danger for falls.
From Instructables:
Whereas we can’t stop these unlucky incidents ourselves, we’ve developed a number of capabilities that warn of a possible falling incident, or guarantee excessive responsiveness in the course of the first essential moments, if such an incident occurred.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meet `fellTell`, our prolonged answer to the introduced downside. `fellTell` is a wearable software, comprised of the next capabilities:
1) Whereas connected to the aged particular person’s leg, `fellTell` will sense any slipping or falling incident. If such an incident happens, `fellTell` will begin beeping, to attract consideration in case the aged particular person is alone
