Activation space:  Privacy Preserving Fall Detection Using Edge-AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths globally, with more than 37 million falls requiring medical attention each year, according to The World Health Organization. Adults over the age of 60 at the greatest risk. For elderly people in unsupervised environments, a fall can be fatal, due to prolonged immobilisation \u2013 known as a \u2018long lie\u2019 \u2013 and inability to request aid. This fall detection project seeks to mitigate this problem by developing a system that can quickly and privately detect falls while alerting caregivers and emergency services. The project uses \u2018human pose estimators\u2019 to estimate bodily joint positional data and overall pose in real time. Detecting a fall involves feeding joint data into a sequence-based neural network while using an edge-vision device for privacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
