Abstract

With an Android app, you can spot elderly persons who might fall and trip. Anybody with access to an open source platform can create his or her own applications for the Android operating system. Seniors falling is a problem that is commonly dealt with by families and medical professionals. According to experts, the sixth most common cause of death in the USA is falls. Because 21% of falls require emergency medical assistance and 11% of falls result in fractures, remaining 68% fall without seeking medical attention face the risk of developing serious health issues. With this justification in mind, a senior fall detection and care notification system was developed. The software monitors the patient and alerts the caretaker if anything is out of the ordinary. One of this Android program’s primary benefits is its ability to send alert messages to the carer with the required information. The alert messages include crucial information like their position and driving instructions. Before acting further, the person has the ability to cancel a false alarm. This effort will benefit the elderly. The smartphone application can recognize potential falls and alert family, doctors, and other using a user-friendly interface.
