A fall detection and identification system includes a tag worn by a user and a server. The tag collects acceleration data from one or more sensors embedded within the tag and transmits the data to the server. The server receives the data from the tag and performs an analysis on the data to detect and identify a fall. The analysis includes determining a change in acceleration of the user over the time window based on the acceleration data; comparing the change in acceleration of the user against one or more thresholds; and determining a status of the user based on the comparison of the change in acceleration of the user against the one or more thresholds.

Fall detection and identification by using data from human condition safety tags

A system includes a sensor attached to an individual and detects an individual's improper body movements that increase injury risk. The system includes a safety tag with an accelerometer that measures proper acceleration. Proper acceleration along multiple directions are projected onto multiple 2-D planes, generating acceleration vectors. Phasor angles of the acceleration vectors are calculated, and if the spread in phasor angles for any one 2-D plane within a moving time window exceeds a threshold, the system determines that the individual has made an improper body movement.
