The most significant risk in our project for now is the discrepancy between the real and test data. We have the RPi set up and we ordered a gym mat and a dummy last week, so we are planning to collect data of us falling and the dummy falling. We are also going to collect data by placing our device in positions other than the users’ pocket, just to check whether a pocket is the best place and whether placing the device on other positions (necklace, belt) affect the collected data.
We also worked on design documents this week, and we are planning to incorporate the feedback we got from the instructors and our peers. We got a feedback that it would be helpful to add a help button instead of relying only on the fall detection, and this feature can easily be added to our app. There were some concerns about data collection during the design review, and we definitely need to collect much more data for our fall detection algorithm to work accurately. We will start collecting data from our device as soon as we get the RPi ready, and as we ordered the dummy, we will be able to collect a much larger data set when it arrives.
