Abstract: Fall detection systems are designed to provide rapid response and assistance in the event of a fall. This article focuses on the design and implementation of the alert system for a fall detector. The system uses sensors to detect falling and quickly sends an alert to a designated caregiver or emergency services. The alert system is designed to be reliable, efficient and user-friendly, providing peace of mind for elderly or disabled individuals who are at high risk of falls. The application can manage hundreds of different sensor types and provides a user-friendly interface for configuring and managing the fall detection system, including setting up alert recipients, defining emergency protocols, individuals, and sensors and monitoring the status of the system.
Keywords: Alert systems, Eldercare, Django, Raspberry Pi, Fall detection.
