US Patent 10422814 Fall detection using machine learning

A method and system for fall detection using machine learning are disclosed. The method comprises detecting at least one signal by a wireless sensor device and calculating a plurality of features from the at least one detected signal. The method includes training a machine learning unit of the wireless sensor device using the features to create a fall classification and a non-fall classification for the fall detection. The system includes a sensor to detect at least one signal, a processor coupled to the sensor, and a memory device coupled to the processor, wherein the memory device includes an application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to calculate a plurality of features from the at least one detected signal and to train a machine learning unit of the wireless sensor device using the features to create a fall classification and a non-fall classification for the fall detection.
