Motion tumble monitor compatible with health monitoring platform

Abstract

The invention relates to application of a monitoring technology, and in particular to a motion tumble monitor compatible with a health monitoring platform. The motion tumble monitor comprises a vest,a first three-axis accelerometer, a second three-axis accelerometer, a third three-axis accelerometer and a fourth three-axis accelerometer. The first three-axis accelerometer is arranged at the chest position of the vest; the second three-axis accelerometer is arranged at the back position of the vest; the third three-axis accelerometer and the fourth three-axis accelerometer are arranged on thetwo sides of the vest respectively. The motion tumble monitor further comprises a microprocessor, a Bluetooth module and a power supply module. The microprocessor, the Bluetooth module and the powermodule are arranged on the vest, the microprocessor is further electrically connected with the Bluetooth module and the power module, and the microprocessor is further electrically connected with thefirst three-axis accelerometer, the second three-axis accelerometer, the third three-axis accelerometer and the fourth three-axis accelerometer. The state of a user can be distinguished, and the fivethree-axis accelerometers are installed on the chest, the lower edges of the left arm and the right arm and the back respectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application of a monitoring technology, in particular to a sports fall monitor compatible with a health monitoring platform. Background technique [0002] As the world's older population grows steadily, health services for older people place increasing pressure on national health budgets and the availability of caregivers. It is estimated that one in three people aged 65 or over in the UK will experience a serious fall injury. The outcome of falls can be unpredictable, leading to prolonged hospitalization, and not uncommonly, death may occur as a direct or indirect consequence of the fall. The resulting emotional and economic costs to individuals and society are enormous. The cost of medical care for falls in older people in Ireland is €404 million per year. In the United States in 2000, the health care costs of falls among persons 65 and older were estimated to exceed $19 billion. [0003] In recent years, fall and mov...

Problems solved by technology

For example, if an older person measures blood pressure or heart rate after strenuous exercise (taking stairs would easily fall into this category), without information about recent activity, the results could be interpreted as a fall, generating false positives
