Abstract
Various arrangements for performing fall detection are presented. A smart-home device may transmit radar waves. Based on reflected radar waves, raw waveform data may be created. The raw waveform data may be processed to determine that a fall by a person has occurred. Speech may then be output announcing that the fall has been detected via the speaker of the smart home device.
