The number of older people in different
countries are constantly increasing. Most of this people
prefer to live independently. Falls may lead to serious
injuries and may even cause death of people. As a
solution to this problem it is essential to develop a fall
detection system. The objective of this project is to
identify and detect unusual activity for an elderly
person. Individuals spend the majority of their time in
their home or workplace and many feels that these
places are their sanctuaries. The information about the
person is stored in a database. So in an emergency
situation the neighbor can go through the details of the
affected person and he/she can refer all the details about
the affected person. A camera is continuously capturing
the video of the bedridden person. Machine learning
techniques use the information to identify and reason
about normal behavior in terms of recognized and
forecasted activities. Once the abnormal behavior is
identified as a threat, a message is sent to the neighbor
or corresponding authorities. In most emergency cases,
the elderly patient seek in-patient care, which is very
expensive and can be a serious financial burden on the
patient if the hospital stay is prolonged, and it won’t be
affordable for everyone. The proposed work allows
people to remain in their comfortable home
environment rather than inexpensive and limited
nursing homes or hospitals, ensuring maximum
independence to the occupants. Therefore, an
affordable and comprehensive healthcare solution with
minimal workforce have much importance for longterm health management and population. We make use
of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and
computer vision
