• Abstract: The aging population has led to a growing number of falls in our society, affecting global public health worldwide. This paper presents CareFall, an automatic Fall Detection System (FDS) based on wearable devices and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods. CareFall considers the accelerometer and gyroscope time signals extracted from a smartwatch. Two different approaches are used for feature extraction and classification: i) threshold-based, and ii) machine learning-based. Experimental results on two public databases show that the machine learning-based approach, which combines accelerometer and gyroscope information, outperforms the threshold-based approach in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. This research contributes to the design of smart and user-friendly solutions to mitigate the negative consequences of falls among older people.

  Agitation and aggression (AA) are some of the symptoms of people with severe dementia (PwD) in long-term care or hospitals. AA not only causes discomfort but also puts the patients or others at potential risk. Existing monitoring solutions utilizing different wearable sensors integrated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer a way to detect AA early enough for timely and adequate medical intervention. This study presents a novel comprehensive approach to detect AA in PwD using physiological data from the Empatica E4 wristbands.

  This study presents the development of an automated fall detection system integrated into care beds, aimed at enhancing patient safety without compromising privacy through wearables or video monitoring. Mechanical vibrations transmitted through the bed frame are processed using a short-time Fourier transform, enabling robust classification of distinct human fall patterns with a convolutional neural network. Despite limited available data, the proposed system shows the potential for an accurate and rapid response to falls, mitigating health implications, and addressing the needs of an aging population.
