ABSTRACT
Nowadays, fall accident for elderly is a global issue. Over 80% of the
fall leads to fatal and occurs in low to middle income countries such
as Western Pacific and South East Asia that contributes more than two
thirds of the occurence. Yearly, 37.3 million of the fall are severe and
requires medical attention. The occurence of the death is happened
among adults over 60 years old. In addition, the occurence is
increased due to lack of surveilance camera to monitor the elderly in
their house. To deal with the issue, elderly surveilance system using
Raspberry Pi is proposed. To detect the fall accident, MPU6050
sensor is deployed and SMS notification is sent to the relative when
the elderly falls. The relative also can observe situation using website
through IP Cameras that have been installed in the house. Experiment
result achieves 92.5% accuracy in detecting the fall accident and user
surveys shows that the proposed system is helpful.
