Overview

May support contactless fall monitoring in homes but should not yet change practice; leaves open need for larger validation trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Human volunteers in a realistic room setting
I
Intervention
Indoor biomedical radar-based system combining radar, wireless communications, and data processing techniques for contactless health-monitoring
O
Outcome
Detection of target's absolute distance and distinguishing fall events from normal movements

A novel radar-based system demonstrates high accuracy (94.3%) for contactless fall detection and localization in a home environment.
