The population structure becomes more aging, and Taiwan has already reached the standard of aging population in 1993. Therefore, under the trend of aging-population society, the needs of looking after the senior increase daily and the issue can not be ignored in domestic society. This study developed a system with wireless sensors for real-time monitoring and actively reporting the fall events of old people. It can decrease the mental and physical problems by fall events and also reduce the huge costs of looking after the elders. The system developed in this study can effectively detect the activities of daily living, including the fall events, and provide the monitoring data for the analysis by experts. Therefore, it can be applied to solve the problems in taking care of live-alone elders.
