Project x1.1 Presentation
The current US population of those 65 years and older is over 40 million today, and the federal Census Bureau predicts that will more than double, to nearly 87 million, by midcentury. There are many individuals who are concerned about and/or are trying to remain in their homes, a class that is being called Aging in Place. This product idea grew out of discussions with many people about the concern of their parents or relatives growing older and insisting on living alone in the family home – the Aging in Place population. One of the major concerns in this situation is that an individual has a medical episode, a fall or some other physical problem that will not be discovered for some period of time, which would turn the episode from a minor incident into a major problem. This is where the idea for ‘eCompanion’ was born. With the currently available technology in sensors for movement / position recognition, wireless interconnectivity and mobile devices, a solution is possible where an individual can be monitored and anomalies detected that can trigger contacting a monitoring service without the need of either a 24 visitation service or pushing a button. With 3axis accelerators monitored in a worn band, a database of the individual's typical movements will be used to provide input for lapses in movement or movements out of normal pattern. A database with adaptive learning capability will be used to input and to determine the typical movement patterns of the monitored individual and convert this into useful information about their daily activities. When the system detects a break in the normal pattern it can automatically trigger an alert sequence.

- 5. Fall Detection by Vector Analysis MI fall is detected by continually reading the band’s 3-axis accelerometer and gyrometer to provide a six axis look at out of normal movement patterns. Since no absolute reference exists, variations between incremental readings are compared on timed intervals for excessive movement that indicates a fall pattern.
