VRI Fall Sensor and Detection System:
iLife Fall Detection Sensor
 The
iLife Fall Detection Sensor is a self contained, battery
operated,- wireless fall sensor, worn on the body of the
protected person. It is designed to detect falls, abnormal
body movements, or extended periods of inactivity and automatically
summon assistance without end-user intervention. It was
developed to provide seamless 24-hour protection. The sensor
and its wireless radio transmitter are enclosed in an inconspicuous,
attractive, wearable housing about the size of a small ladies
compact (only 2.25 inches high and 0.57 inches thick).
Unlike the current generation of emergency summoning devices, the iLife Fall Detection
Sensor will AUTOMATICALLY call for help when either a fall or an abnormal period
of no motion/inactivity suggests that an emergency condition exists. The device
also has a manually activated button for summoning help.
The Fall Detection Sensor employs a microcomputer that is programmed to distinguish
between falls and normal movement, even if that movement involves shocks such as
dropping into a chair, walking with a heavy gait, or descending stairs. False activations
are extremely rare, EVEN WHEN DROPPED!
Because the device uses accelerometers rather than mercury switches it can be worn
in bed. There are no limitations or restrictions on its use and there is no "wrong
way" to wear it.
