Analysis of the Response Efficiency of Patient Fall Alert Belt via the LINE Application
Keywords:
Patient, Efficiency, Line ApplicationAbstract
This research aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a fall detection system for patients using walking aids, with notifications sent via the Line application. The system was designed to alert caregivers in real-time when a fall occurs, improving patient safety. A prototype of a walking aid equipped with a fall detection sensor and a GPS module was developed. The device was tested in a simulated home environment with multiple floors to assess the system's sensitivity and accuracy in detecting falls and locating the patient. The findings indicated that the system was capable of reliably detecting falls and sending timely notifications to caregivers via the Line application. The system's GPS function accurately determined the patient's location. The optimal detection range was found to be 3 meters. These results demonstrate the potential of this technology to enhance patient safety and provide peace of mind for caregivers. Future research should focus on expanding the testing environment to include real-world settings and exploring additional features such as integrating the system with other healthcare devices.
