US Patent 11049382 Fall detection method and system

A concept for personalizing a fall detection algorithm to a particular subject. Sensor data, responsive to a fall of a subject, is obtained at the fall detector, along with feedback information responsive to a confirmation of whether the subject has fallen and/or whether the subject had not fallen. Parts of the sensor data, and corresponding portions of the feedback information, are transmitted to an external device, which generate update information for the fall detection algorithm. The update information is then used by the fall detector to update, and thereby personalize, the fall detection algorithm.
