Introduction and Project Summary

For many elderly people,  walking safely is especially important for the elders because fall-related injuries are common and can lead to severe health problems. However, there are concerns that they may be left alone in a dangerous situation or get lost without any assistance near them. To resolve such problems, we came up with a smart attachable device connected with a mobile application that detects a fall and sends alerts to the first responders. The main feature of our smart cane is sending an alert to the user’s first responders when there is an unusual fall detection on the device.
