Falls are one of the most common adverse events in hospitals and fall management remains a major challenge in the medical care quality. Falls in patients are associated with major health complications that can result in health decline and increased medical care cost. To deliver medical care in time, reliable location-aware fall detection is needed. In this paper, we propose a patient alert alarm for fall management. It is ZigBee-based location awareness fall detection system that provides immediate position information to the caregivers as soon as the fall happened. Obviously, the integration of location awareness and fall detection technologies fulfills the requirements of delivering critical information to relative professions and improve the medical care quality. |
