Integrating IoT and Machine Learning for Human Fall Detection and Activity Monitoring
摘要
Elderly falls mostly refer to critical incidents, which imply a critical need for detection systems that can accurately detect falls. This paper presents an IoT-based fall-detection and activity monitoring system by the integration of supervised machine learning algorithms with MPU6050 motion sensors. The performance of six machine learning algorithms has been tested on collected motion data to detect and classify activities such as sitting, standing, walking, and falling. Results showed the Random Forest model yielded the highest accuracy (96%) and F1-score (95.5%) for detecting falls compared to SVM and outperformed it in classification performance as well as robustness to data variations. The proposed system is guaranteed to be a reliable, user-friendly solution in elderly care due to its real-time functionality and low false alarm rates.
