Abstract

The project will be a fall detector for elderly residents of Asilo Lar de Jesus from the city of São José do Rio Pardo. It will consist of an Accelerometer and Gyroscope MPU6050; and a pulse sensor to measure the heartbeat of the elderly. He aims promote greater security for the well-being of the elderly and also facilitate and speed up the service of caregivers through monitoring the movements of elderly people in the environment. This project aims to improve communication between site employees and elderly through the implementation of technological bracelets, which will be responsible for issue instant warning signals through notifications in case they suffer a fall. In this age group, most individuals have high degrees of frailty and sensitivity to a fall. As Martini, Silva and Curiati (2023, p. 10) state, when quote Carpenter and Liu (2018): Even minor traumas, such as falls from standing height, can cause decline functional, visits to the ED, decreased quality of life and increased mortality, so that approximately one third of elderly patients with fall who are discharged from the emergency department have one of these outcomes at 3 months. Between 36 and 50% of patients experience an event adverse event within 1 year of a fall. In this sense, it is of fundamental importance that the device issues an alert snapshot aimed at the entire team of caregivers, in order to speed up the process as much as possible providing care and increasing the chances of saving the elderly person’s life.
