fall detection
Collapse alert system
Fall detection is technology that automatically identifies when a person has fallen, typically used in medical alert devices and smartwatches for elderly or at-risk individuals.
The system uses sensors to detect sudden changes in motion or position, then alerts caregivers or emergency services: Her watch's fall detection called 911 when she collapsed.
Some systems distinguish between actual falls and normal activities like sitting down quickly.
