Maarit Kangas, Raija Korpelainen, Irene Vikman, Lars Nyberg et al.

Short summary

An accelerometry-based fall detection system achieved 80% sensitivity in detecting 12 out of 15 real-life falls among 16 elderly individuals over 15,500 hours, with an initial false alarm rate of 0.049 alarms per hour, reducible to 0.025 alarms per hour.
