Evaluation of a low-complexity fall detection algorithm on wearable sensor towards falls and fall-alike activities

Fall accidents cause severe damage to health, sometimes even mortality in older adults. With the increasing number of the elderly suffering from fall events, wearable products are in great demand. However, most of them for fall detection have difficulty in reducing false positive caused by fall-alik...
