FALL

ALARM
 IDEA
A small device can be hooked onto the belts or other
utilities of the worker. This device will contain tilt and
gravity sensors which will monitor the worker. We
provide a mechanism to detect free fall conditions
using displacement algorithms and also exceeding a
particular tilt.
Current scenario
 Employee whose jobs require them to climb
ladders work at a significant height are at a
risk of serious fall injury.
 A construction worker falling off will lead to
broken bones.
 Fall from a significant height will cause
disability.
 Many of these deaths occur because the
victim remains immobile on the ground for a
long period of time without any help,
condition typically known as “long-lie”.
Core concept
Accidents are often accompanied by a condition of
free fall where the person involved needs immediate
medical help. In such situations every moment, while
alerting appropriate authorities, can be very crucial.
We have an idea to create a belt with a device
containing 6 Degree of Freedom Inertial
Measurement Unit(IMU) along with web-enabled
device which would collect, send and act on the data
received from the IMU. We provide a mechanism to
detect free fall condition using displacement based
algorithms and also exceeding a particular tilt. In case
a free fall is detected then the user is prompted to
respond by touch or voice in order to eliminate any
false positives. If there is no response from the user,
the system alerts nearby hospitals and concerned
authorities. Also if the orientation goes above a certain
limit, the user would be alerted.
CONCLUTION
Thus, the goal is to ensure the safety of
the worker and to make sure that the
person in need gets
adequate help as soon as possible.
