ARDUINO-BASED FALL DETECTION AND ALERT SYSTEM

Over decades, accident fall is believed to be the major cause of deaths and cause serious injuries to the elders. As their health performances turns down, they tend to have joint pains, cognitive problems and as well as the brain problems. They sometimes need support to keep standing and worse ca...
