For the elderly several studies suggest that fear of fall is prevalent among community-dwelling elders. This study proposes a reliable tele-care system that can detect falls immediately and notify medical personnel to prevent the patient’s condition from worsening due to delayed treatment. A unique feature of the proposed system is that we use an embedded system which monitoring falls. It combines micro-sensors and digital data processing technologies. When the elderly wearing the device falls, A warning alarm will be generated and send to the nursing department by a radio signal. At the same time, the system sent a message to elderly`s family.
