Abstract
Due to demographic reasons the percentage of elderly citizens in developed countries is rapidly increasing and as a consequence prevention of age-related problems is getting more important. Falls are amongst the most frequent causes for injuries to the aging population and many efforts have been concentrated in fall detection and prevention. This paper presents the design, implementation and experimental analysis of a portable wireless fall detector.
