  • Title: Data acquisition system using six degree-of-freedom inertia sensor and ZigBee wireless link for fall detection and prevention.

    Journal: Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc; 2008; 2008():2353-6. PubMed ID: 19163174.
    Abstract:
    Fall detection and prevention require logged physiological activity data of a patient for a long period of time. This work develops a data acquisition system to collect motion data from multiple patients and store in a data base. A wireless sensor network is built using high precision inertia sensors and low power Zigbee wireless transceivers. Testing results prove the system function properly. Researchers and physicians can now retrieve and analyze the accurate data of the patient movement with ease.
