Abstract
The most common adverse event in adults/patients is fall. The fall management has always caused a major challenge in medical systems. Fall in adults/patients can cause major health complications that can ultimately leads to health decline and increases the medical care cost. Many of latest technologies have been in use for fall management like GPS enabled Tri-axial Accelerometers (MEMS), Gyroscopes and Magnetometers etc. This paper presents human fall detection system by using a inexpensive approach of Liquid Fall Detection System (LFDS). It uses GSM architecture for information transformation through SMS. It is also GPS-Based location awareness fall detection system that facilitates immediate positional information to the caretakers. Obviously, the integration of location awareness, GSM and fall detection technologies fulfills the requirements of delivering critical information to respective persons.
