Fall Detection

Hi. I have lost two elderly family members to falls because no one was in the house when they fell and no one knew to come help.

My mom is in her own home and does pretty well. She can’t wear a watch and I don’t think she’d get up and put on a necklace right out of bed. She has an Alexa in every room so if she falls and remains alert, she can call for help.

My concern is, what if she can’t speak? A camera wouldn’t be useful because she’ll be moving around and triggering the alerts.

Could you create a program that ignores the normal movements of walking, getting in and out of chairs and bed but alerts when a person falls onto the floor?
