 INTRODUCTION

• Elderly individuals are the quickest growing section of the

total populace.

• Fall and fall related injuries are responsible for 70 % of

accidental death.

• Hip fractures are common in older people.

• Older people who are living alone have the highest risk of
delayed medical intervention.
 INTRODUCTION(cont…)

• It is imperative to detect the falls as soon as they occur.

• Detect and minimize the impact of fall.

• Sending the information of the fall event to the caregivers.

 LITERATURE REVIEW
PATIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

• The design interface of earlier system are too large for use.
• Provides the benefits of streamlining of operations.

• Enhanced administration and control

• Improved response, cost control and improved profitability.

• System has admin, doctor, administration and patient modules.

• Patient can send online request for appointment.

 LITERATURE REVIEW
Developing Patient Monitoring System Using Android
Technology
• Day by day health problems and health concern are
increasing.

• Availability of treatments

• Needs of health care’s provider’s presence near the bedside of

the patient.

• Patient is restricted to bed and wired to large machine.

 COMPONENTS REQUIRED

• Power supply
• Microcontroller
• Pressurized plastic bag
• Air pump
• Air jacket
• GSM module
• Analog to digital converter
• Sensor circuit
• Solenoid
PROPOSED SYSTEM
 PROCESS FLOW

• Input stage - MEMS Accelerometer

• Processing stage – Microcontroller

• Trigger stage – Arrangement of pressurized plastic bags ,

miniaturized air pumps , solenoid valve

• Communication Stage – GSM Module and GPS Module

 INPUT STAGE

• Taking the input from the sensor.

• MEMS accelerometer is used.

• Measures the acceleration in all three axis.

• The output of the accelerometer is sent to the processing

stage.
 PROCESSING STAGE

• Most important stage of the system.

• Microcontroller PIC18F46K22 is used.

• Brain of the system.

• The user’s acceleration is continuously monitored.

 TRIGGER STAGE

• To mitigate the hazardous impact of fall.

• The Microcontroller module activates the solenoid valve .

• The inflated airbag is now filled with air from the pressurized
plastic bags.
 COMMUNICATION STAGE

• Informing the caretakers regarding the fall event.

• GSM Module and GPS Module is used.

• Tele-operator services contact the nearest ambulance service.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
 ADVANTAGES

• The fall has been detected.

• Mitigating the harmful impact of fall.

• User’s location can be easily found.

• Request for help is sent to the caregivers.

• The module is designed in the form of a wearable jacket.

 DISADVANTAGES

• It requires a non-negligible warm-up time to understand the

problem of falls fully

• System is complex
 APPLICATIONS

• The GSM module will capable of locating the nearest

hospital.

• Display the ECG signal on the doctor’s mobile phone.

• Send EEG and EMG signals for analysing.

 CONCLUSION

• Fall detection system requires a non-negligible warm-up time.

• The most relevant approaches have been described.

• To provide guidelines to speed up the design process of a new

fall detection system.

• Presumable that even if the complexity of predictive system

increases.
 FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

• GSM module will be capable of locating the nearest hospital.

• Transmitting the message to the concerned doctor.

• Possible to transmit the victim's medical conditions at the

time of fall.

• Send EEG and EMG signals.

• Display the ECG signal on the Doctor’s mobile phone.
