Devices, systems, and methods for detecting falls

A method for determining if a person falls and transmitting notifications, comprising:

• collecting, by a first sensor of a wearable device, acceleration data;
• collecting at least one of:
• pressure data, by a second sensor of the device;
• or
• temperature data, by a third sensor of the device;
• receiving, by a processor of the device, the acceleration data and at least one of the pressure data or the temperature data;
• processing, by the processor, the acceleration data and at least one of the pressure data or the temperature data to determine real-time changes in body height and body direction of a person;
• determining, by the processor, if the person falls based on comparing the determined real-time changes in the body height and the body direction with one or more thresholds;
• determining, by the processor, if the person does not get up for a predetermined period of time based on continuous collection of the acceleration data and at least one of the pressure data or the temperature data;
• and
• in response to determining that the person falls and the person does not get up, controlling, by the processor, the antenna to transmit a signal to one or more hubs, causing the one or more hubs to determine the location of the person and transmit the determined location and a notification of the fall.

A system for determining if a first person falls and transmitting notifications, comprising:

• a wearable first device and one or more second devices, wherein the wearable first device is configured to:
• collect acceleration data;
• collect at least one of pressure data or temperature data;
• process the acceleration data and at least one of the pressure data or the temperature data to determine real-time changes in body height and body direction of a person;
• determine if the person falls based on comparing the determined real-time changes in the body height and the body direction with one or more thresholds;
• determine if the person does not get up for a predetermined period of time based on continuous collection of the acceleration data and at least one of the pressure data or the temperature data;
• and
• in response to determining that the person falls and the person does not get up, transmit a signal to the one or more second devices, causing the one or more second devices to determine the location of the person and transmit the determined location and a notification of the fall to a third device, wherein the second device comprises a hub.
