Abstract
A smart monitoring system comprising a plurality of sensor devices coupled to appliances and fixtures within a dwelling environment, where at least one of the plurality of sensor devices comprises sensor elements including an accelerometer. The system further comprising a computing device operative to receive event signals from the plurality of sensor devices, identify a possible fall event from one or more of the plurality of sensor devices based on the event signals, sample sensor data from one or more of the plurality of sensor devices wherein the sensor data includes measurements of movement. The computer device is further operative to determine a fall has occurred based on the sampled sensor data, sample additional sensor data from the one or more of the plurality of sensor devices for additional motion at a period of time subsequent to the possible fall event, and determine a recovery from the fall based on the additional sensor data.
