🤸‍♂️ Fall to Call Out Boys 📲



The APK is available here.


Motivation:

Many old people tend to fall more than an average person every day. In today's generation, most of the grandparents are left under the service of either old-age homes or a house servant while their children and grandchildren are busy in their daily work outside house. Hence, it becomes important for the family members to be able to take care of their elderly in a remote fashion. This Android App was developed with this goal in mind. This app can notify the emergency contact about any potential fall of the elderly. The app makes use of accelerometer and gyroscope readings to detect a fall. As soon as a spike in the readings is observed, the app automatically places a phone call to the emergency contact, asking for help.

The use case of this application can also be extended to workplaces where worker's safety is a major concern. For eg: oil fields, coal mines, drainage cleaning, etc. In such cases, the app can notify the team about any haphazard situation they might have fallen into.

Features:

  • Set Emergency Contact feature.
  • History tracking of past falls. Can be utilized by doctors to see patients' fall tendency patterns.
  • Real-time accelerometer and gyroscope readings are plotted as a graph.
  • Immediately calls the emergency contact on sharp spike in reading.
