One of the major contributor leading to cause of unintentional injuries after motor vehicle crashes and poisoning, is Falls. The existing Fall Prediction Algorithms are used to predict falls in older or disabled people by analyzing their fall history, capturing their movements through visual sensors (cameras, thermal imaging etc.) in a fixed environment, using inertial sensors to identify the patterns of movements. These algorithms are monologues for each person as they learn from their history and predict falls specific only to that person. The algorithm proposed in this paper aims to predict falls using kinematic data such as accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscopic values, for any user. This work involves developing an algorithm capable of predicting falls and to achieve this, we use Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The benefit of this algorithm is to prevent trauma to the body or at least reduce the impact of fall and the fatality caused by it. In the future, this algorithm can be used to design a device to predict falls in real-time to scenario be used by everyone irrespective of gender, age, and health.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
