Abstract:
Background: The biggest challenge in this technologically advanced society is the
improvement in the health of aging individuals. The focal cause for significant injuries
and early death in senior citizens is due to falling, the possibility to automatically detect
falls has increased demand for such devices, the high detection rate is achieved using
the wearable sensors, this system has a quiet social and monetary impact on society. So
even for the day-to-day activity in the life of aged people an automatically fall detecting
systems and vital signs examining system becomes a necessity. We have added one
extended idea (which is not in the scope of thesis) in this research by considering
current COVID-19 outbreak. As proposed system can monitor vital signs of the patient
or individual remotely in real-time without person to person contact. So our health
workers, doctors, nurses can easily monitor vital signs of corona positive or infected
patient remotely and get updated in real-time. So They may have less chances to get
infection from positive one. So it is fact that in this era, IoMT based healthcare systems
are highly needed to serve in such bigger outbreak and when country have very less
resources in terms of Doctors, nurses, hospitals and medical equipment. As coronavirus
keeps on spreading, specialists’ doctors and healthcare systems frameworks are
confronting a large number of difficulties at all phases of the pandemic
Objective: This research work aims at helping aged people and every other necessary
human by monitoring their vital signs and fall prediction. A fall detecting VitalFall
gadget which could analyze the measurement in all three orthogonal directions using a
triple-axis accelerometer and Vital Signs Parameters (Heartrate, Heartbeat, and
Temperature monitoring) for the ancient people with a Next-Generation Ubiquitous
Healthcare Monitoring (NXTGeUH) approach with proposed VitaFall wearable device
is proposed which is well-timed and gives an effective decision of the fall. The
minimum value to define the probability of an old individual’s fall is evaluated by
calculating the spur and gradient which people make with the parallel plane are with the
Vital Signs Parameter, MPU6050 is a Tri-Axial Accelerometer and Tri-Axial
Gyroscope Module and collects the accelerations as well as the (angular velocity) angle
developed between the aged and the parallel plane of aged people for a VitalFall device
in the Internet of Medical Things. A guardian can be notified by sending a text message via GSM and GPRS module in order that aged can be helped, however, a delay in the
time is noticed when comparing the gradient and minimum value to predetermine the
state of the old person. It is the era of IoT and ambient intelligence. There a greater
number of serious problems in the older populace because of the hasty enlargement of
modern society.
Methods: Comparison with Present Algorithms there are various benefits regarding
privacy, success rate and design of using an implemented algorithm over the existing
algorithms assessed using Kappa analysis, Recall, Precision, Accuracy, and F1-
Score.As concluded from the experimental outcomes. The NXTGeUH proposed
system has succeeded to achieve 96.43%Accuracy, 94.06%Precision, 94.62%
Recall, 94% F1-Score, when detecting falls. The proposed advanced algorithm
NXTGeUH monitor’s the patient's count using proposed VitaFALL device with
combining the decision of Fall assessment and Vital signs monitoring.
