Abstract- The purpose of this project is to detect falls by using inertial sensors embedded in hearing instruments. Falls represent a major public health risk worldwide for elderly people. In that sense, the present work proposes an innovative IoT-based system for detecting falls of elderly people in indoor environments, which takes advantage of low-power wireless sensor networks, and smart devices. This alert can be manually operated as well in case of any other emergencies that do not trigger the fall detection.
