Abstract
An apparatus includes a microphone, a memory, and a processor operably coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to determine an energy level of an audio signal captured by the microphone and determine whether the audio signal indicates a possible fall. The processor is further configured to, upon a determination that the audio signal indicates the possible fall, poll a fall detection module.
