Emergency reporting device i.e. emergency call device, for use in e.g. home, for assisting e.g. disabled person, in event of fall of person, has evaluation unit for evaluating sensor signals for recognizing fall of person to be monitored

摘要

The device (1) has signaling equipment (2) supported and/or fastened to the body of a person to be monitored. The signaling equipment includes a sensor system (3) comprising an air pressure sensor (4a) and an acceleration sensor (4b) for generating and transmitting sensor signals (41, 42) e.g. air pressure and jerk load, to an evaluation unit (7). The evaluation unit receives and evaluates the sensor signals for recognizing fall of the person to be monitored. The signaling equipment outputs visual, tactile and/or audible information. An independent claim is also included for a method for recognizing and/or reporting fall of a person to be monitored.
