    ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences A Novel Framework for Fall Detection by Using Ambient Sensors and Voice Recording. P Megana Santhoshi1*, and Mythili Thirugnanam2. 1PhD scholar, School of Computer Science and Engineering (SCOPE), VIT University, Tamil Nadu, India 2School of Computer Science and Engineering (SCOPE), VIT University, Vellore-632014, Tamil Nadu, India. ABSTRACT Now a day’s falls are the second ruling cause to unintentional injury death of elderly person. Fall detection methods are introduced to assist the elderly person. For any type of patient irrespective of age, first one to two hours treatment is crucial at the time of emergency. Before starting the treatment, it would be very helpful if caregivers know exact injury type. This paper aims to propose a framework on IoT and cloud computing based fall detection scheme using ambient sensors along with voice recording. With the help of voice clip and fall alarm, patient had a feasibility to inform exact injury to hospital. Hospital people will facilitate relevant department services to start quick treatment. Keywords: Ambience based fall detection; voice recorder based health system; wireless sensor networks (WSN’s); IoT (Internet of Things); Cloud computing; smart health care system. *Corresponding author September – October 2016 RJPBCS 7(5) Page No. 2097 ISSN: 0975-8585 INTRODUCTION The number of persons above the age of 60 years is huge growing, especially in India. As per Indian government ministry of statistics, India is the second population country in the world having 1.21 Billion people. In that 35.5% of people are at or over the age of 60.

Supervisor, Saul Greenberg Department of Computer Science Sheelagh Carpendale Department of Computer Science External Examiner, Barry Wylant Faculty of Environmental Design University of Calgary Date - ii - Abstract In this thesis, I address the problem of designing technology for communication and coordination information management in the home. First, I use contextual interviews to examine how households currently manage this information. From these interviews, I identify five types of communicative information. I then discuss how these types are created and understood by home inhabitants as a function of contextual locations within the home. The choice of location for a piece of information is important to the functioning of the home, and is highly nuanced. Location helps home inhabitants understand time, ownership and awareness. Finally, I show how this understanding can be applied in design through two case studies in location-based home technology design. This will provide practitioners and designers with a more complete view of information in the home, and a better understanding of how technology embedded within the home can augment communication and coordination of home inhabitants.

The analysis clearly distinguishes between IoT and IoE, which are wrongly considered to be the same by many commentators. After evaluating the current trends of advancement in the fields of IoT, IoE and IoNT, this paper identifies the 21 most significant current and future challenges as well as scenarios for the possible future expansion of their applications. Despite possible negative aspects of these developments, there are grounds for general optimism about the coming technologies. Certainly, many tedious tasks can be taken over by IoT devices. However, the dangers of criminal and other nefarious activities, plus those of hardware and software errors, pose major challenges that are a priority for further research. Major specific priority issues for research are identified.

We have presented the design process of I-blocks with its inherent merits. we have also discussed the various design concepts of ambient intelligence objects. Finally, we presented the current research directions to motivate societal needs of human beings. Keywords— ambient, Computer Vision, intelligence, smart, ubiquitous I. INTRODUCTION This introductory paper describes Ambient Intelligence (AmI) from the perspectives of researchers working in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision. It is for the reader to get acquainted with some of the ideas .That will be explored in greater detail in the following content .Ambient Intelligence is a term that was introduced by the European community to identify a paradigm to equip environments with advanced technology and computing to create an ergonomic space for the occupant user. Here the term ergonomic is used in a broad sense, encompassing both better living environment, secure space, but also an active, almost living space around us; capable of aiding us with daily chores and professional duties.

    Ambient Sensors for Elderly Care and Independent Living: a Survey

    sensors Review Ambient Sensors for Elderly Care and Independent Living: A Survey Md. Zia Uddin * ID , Weria Khaksar and Jim Torresen Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, 0316 Oslo, Norway; weriak@ifi.uio.no (W.K.); jimtoer@ifi.uio.no (J.T.) * Correspondence: mdzu@ifi.uio.no; Tel.: +47-22-85-44-09 Received: 9 May 2018; Accepted: 18 June 2018; Published: 25 June 2018 Abstract: Elderly care at home is a matter of great concern if the elderly live alone, since unforeseen circumstances might occur that affect their well-being. Technologies that assist the elderly in independent living are essential for enhancing care in a cost-effective and reliable manner. Elderly care applications often demand real-time observation of the environment and the resident’s activities using an event-driven system. As an emerging area of research and development, it is necessary to explore the approaches of the elderly care system in the literature to identify current practices for future research directions. Therefore, this work is aimed at a comprehensive survey of non-wearable (i.e., ambient) sensors for various elderly care systems. This research work is an effort to obtain insight into different types of ambient-sensor-based elderly monitoring technologies in the home. With the aim of adopting these technologies, research works, and their outcomes are reported. Publications have been included in this survey if they reported mostly ambient sensor-based monitoring technologies that detect elderly events (e.g., activities of daily living and falls) with the aim of facilitating independent living. Mostly, different types of non-contact sensor technologies were identified, such as motion, pressure, video, object contact, and sound sensors.

January 2013 Graduation Committee prof. dr. K. G. Langendoen (chair) Delft University of Technology dr. ir. A. Phillips ARM R&D, Cambridge ir. H. Vincent ARM R&D, Cambridge dr. S.O. Dulman Delft University of Technology dr. A. Iosup Delft University of Technology Abstract The level of the technological development of embedded devices is at a constant rise. We can foresee a near-future scenario where a huge number of semi-intelligent devices are part of our everyday environment, our homes, the public places and the office as well. The intelligent thermostat uploads the temperature readings to an on- line database; the fridge sends a tweet when we are out of milk; the coffee machine texts us when the coffee is ready. Each device has a unique and individual purpose. But what if they could be grouped together as a so-called accidental infrastructure to serve a more advanced cause? We have set out to demonstrate the possibilities of such an accidental infrastructure in the field of indoor localization. An ambient device in itself is not intentionally prepared for localization purposes, but using many of them together and combining the collected data can surpass the devices’ limited individual capabilities.
