[0002] With the increasing aging of the population, the safety of the elderly is receiving growing attention. Due to declining physical function and reduced balance, the elderly are prone to falls, which often cause serious physical injury or even endanger their lives. Therefore, existing technologies have designed fall-alarm shoes for the elderly. Among them, Chinese patent (CN212414918U) discloses a fall-alarm shoe for high-risk patients; and Chinese patent (CN211154038U) discloses a fall-alarm shoe for patients with poor self-control. However, the above-mentioned patented technologies have the following drawbacks: 1. The electronic equipment on the shoes is inconvenient to disassemble and install on different shoes, resulting in high operating costs; 2. It cannot accurately determine whether the shoes are being worn or whether the wearer has fallen, resulting in poor monitoring reliability.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a smart fall prevention alarm system, shoe heel pad, and alarm shoe for the elderly with a simpler and more reasonable structural design, easier installation and use on different shoes, reduced usage costs, and improved monitoring reliability has become a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0018] As an optimization, the heel portion includes a second sponge layer disposed between two second covering layers. Two second mounting cavities are provided on each side of the second sponge layer. A power supply module and a signal transmission module are arranged in one of the second mounting cavities. A tilt sensor, a gyroscope module, and a GPS positioning module are arranged in the other second mounting cavity. A second sealing cover is provided for each of the second mounting cavities.

[0019] This makes it easier to install and arrange the tilt sensor, gyroscope module, and GPS positioning module.

[0020] Furthermore, the second covering layer is made of fabric or leather.

[0021] As an optimization, the thickness of both the foot pad and the heel is set to be greater than the thickness of the connecting part.

[0022] In this way, the thickness dimensions of the foot pad, heel, and connecting part are set more reasonably.

[0023] This technical solution also discloses a smart anti-fall alarm shoe for the elderly, including the heel pad with the above-mentioned structure; it also includes a shoe body, in which the heel pad is installed and arranged; and the foot pad part of the heel pad is arranged below the rear end of the insole of the shoe body, so that the heel part is bent into a U-shape and attached to the inner side of the heel of the shoe body.

[0024] In this way, the aforementioned anti-fall alarm shoes and heel pads can be more easily installed and used on different shoes, reducing usage costs. Attached Figure Description
