Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for detecting falls using rotation-based sensing. In one embodiment, a system includes a railing configured to at least partially support a user, a sensor configured to output a rotational orientation value associated with the railing, and one or more processors in communication with the sensor. The one or more processors may be configured to receive the rotational orientation value from the sensor, determine that the rotational orientation value received from the sensor satisfies a threshold rotational orientation value, and cause a safety-based action to be performed based at least in part on determining that the rotational orientation value satisfies the threshold rotational orientation value.
