Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for detecting a fall includes a wearable device with an accelerometer and a transmitter for transmitting data to a portable electronic device. The method comprises receiving data from the accelerometer in response to a movement of the wearable device; transitioning between operational states in a plurality of operational states based on the received data and time elapsed since a last state transition; and detecting falling of the person based on a predefined sequence of state transitions including at least one transition to a falling state having the data being equivalent to zero, where the time elapsed at the falling state exceeds a predefined maximum time threshold.
