We found many senior citizens in the US and even all around the world are living alone probably owing to more adults are working worldwide in big cities. The health status and safety of those senior citizens are not being taken good care of. Specifically, there is one common danger that seniors are likely to have sudden health issues and might fall onto the ground. In such cases, a timely treatment is desperately needed. But occasionally, those seniors might fall without being noticed, especially in area with sparse population. In hope of solving those problems and giving more protection and care to senior citizens, we develop this smart wearable device which has three major functions. The first one is tumble detection and health status report. The second one is environment detection. And the third one is chatbox.

What we have achieved? |
To be continued... |
We accomplished a fall detection system which could capture the movement of seniors and decide whether he/she falls or not then an alert system which could deliver the correct message to the children, and the final fall prediction accuracy is 97.9%. The environment monitoring is able to warn pitfalls and to detect faces on the road with the ability to save those faces, and chatbox can give the ideal response

Using cloud database to store each user's specific information and give better care and prediction result aiming for specific people.
