Zigbee based smart fall detection and notification system with wearable senso...eSAT Journals
Abstract Fall is one of the serious health issues among elderly population in Malaysia. In the event of a fall, a strong impact may be inflicted on the elderly causing severe injuries or even death. Another research by the National Institutes of Health found that 67% of elderly who fall and fail to seek help within 72 hours are unlikely to survive. Current Personal Emergency Respond System (PERS) often employs the use of a manual emergency button. However this approach may not be useful if the fall victim become unconscious or even not be able to move to reach the emergency button. In addition, such as this approach also requires more time and inadequate to notify and seek for immediate help. This paper attempts to design and implement a smart fall detection system for real time notification known as e-SAFE. This system will automatically detect a fall and notifies the incident instantly to internal and external correspondence. The e-SAFE equipped with a wearable accelerometer sensor, microcontroller, ZigBee transceiver module and Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) device. The in-house correspondence will be notifies though the ZigBee technology, meanwhile the external correspondence will be notified through GSM. Once a fall has been detected by e-SAFE system, a Short Message Service (SMS) and an E-mail will be sent to predefined contacts which is stored in the system. This system will provide a path toward independent living for the elderly while keeping them save. Index Terms: Emergency Respond, Wearable Accelerometer Sensor, ZigBee, GSM, SMS, E-mail.

To explain the tremendous evolution in ICT the last decades, one typically refers to the Law of Moore. Today we’re facing with new languages and methodologies popping up like buzz words. Understanding the evolution of programming and cornerstone concepts will help you to position and value future programming languages and trends.
Although GPS developments started in 1967, it’s only in the early 70’s that NASA launched its first Earth Observation satellite. Contemporary technologies like satellite navigation and remote sensing are key in our daily life. Still, we ain’t seen nothing yet. Explore the potential of these technologies in your future products or services, and find a way to get things done.
Based on demonstrations and cases you’ll explore the future impact on new interface technologies like gesture, augmented and virtual reality. Douglas Engelbart developed the computer mouse in the ’60s. It was the first in a list of human interface technologies that revolutionized the way we interact with ICT. What’s the next big thing?
At the end of the ’60s, the first research programs started on humanoid robots. Although this technology inspired many of us, it’s only now that we see first applications arise. What’s the status of the robotics technology? How is it impacted by other technologies like AI, RF and energy storage? Let’s discuss the evolution and potential for your business based on recent projects and technologies available at our partners and alumni start-ups.
Let’s discuss the boundary conditions to innovate successfully based on some cases in Flanders and the Netherlands. Most governments are taking about half of their gross national product for their account. They can be better off by being open to innovation in the public purchase process and act as a launching customer for their industry and start-ups.
What’s the impact of public moonshot projects on innovation if they’re set up the right way? Armstrong saw his first footstep on the moon as one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. And he was right.
The human aspect in driving innovation is not to be underestimated. Driving innovation is done by implementing the necessary tools and structures. However driving desired behavior on individual and team level is at least equally important. Möbius will share insights in how to build an innovation and continuous improvement culture.
The key concept in any start-up? The freedom to experiment as basis for accelerated learning. Or like Pink Floyd sang in the 70’s: “We don’t need no education.” Is your FabLab ready for it?
How do you set up your venture and accelerate growth? Start-ups are in a fundamental different position than corporates. As a consequence they play a different ball game. What can the start-up culture learn from the ’60s?
What are the differences between popular innovation project management methodologies? Why does project management often fail? Learn how risk assessment should define your methodology in order to become a real innovation factory. The waterfall methodology has been promoted for years as the best practice for IR&D management. These days agile and scrum are increasingly popular as alternative. Hater or believer? Good or bad? Get guided through our body of knowledge as published in the Inspire Toolbox.
Project management in innovation can only be successful if it’s driven by a robust methodology integrating a clear quality assurance concept. What can trendy methodologies learn from the house of quality?
50 years ago, innovation centers like Xerox or Philips’ Natlab set the benchmark with their methodologies on organizing innovation. Today, innovation is influenced by rapid-moving triggers and companies have to organize accordingly. Discover current best practices on organizing your innovation ecosystem.
How do you reinvent a mature business with the right cocktail of user insights and technologies? The message is clear: choose for differentiation or servitization, or loose.
AI has an inevitable impact on your next generation products and services. Things evolved relatively slow since the first AI experiments in the ’60s. Today, AI is accelerating as no other technology has done before. How will the 4th wave of Artificial Intelligence transform your future business?
Discover the newest insights in understanding value drivers and their impact on new products and services. From technology improvement towards platform economy with the value pyramid. How to use new design skills and service design to create experience economy?
The adoption of innovative IoT technology in smart cities seems to go slower than the utopian predictions of the last decade. This might be because the traditional business-to-government model is no longer sufficient to bear the investment cost and get these systems operational. Multi-sided business models can offer
a possible solution, but require a different approach from governments as well as suppliers, as illustrated by recent Verhaert cases.
AI can be weaved together with space technologies to provide exciting new solutions to a wide array of industries. Get a glimpse of how space data can enhance businesses, and how ESA Space Solutions Belgium can offer you the tools and funding to develop your ideas.
New space in the Belgian and European start-up technology ecosystem. Presentation at the launch event of ESA Space Solutions Belgium on Wednesday the 7th of November in Brussels.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
