Resumo

This paper presents a system for detection and warning of falls for people with special care needs, using real-time evaluated data from accelerometer and magnetometer sensors of mobile devices with android operating system, using algorithms to detect patterns of falls, device position and voice recognition to determine a possible fall. We performed 240 tests in a young healthy user using the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 device strapped to his chest in order to ensure efficiency in detecting falls.
