Airbag System for Elderly People Fall Protection with Proactive Safety Measures
Objective
The objective of this project is to design a wearable airbag system that protects elderly people from injuries caused by falls. The system aims to detect falls using sensors connected to a microcontroller. It automatically deploys an airbag to reduce impact during a fall. The system also monitors basic health parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, and force. Additionally, it sends alert notifications wirelessly to a mobile application for timely assistance.
Abstract
Falls among elderly people can lead to serious injuries and health complications, creating the need for advanced personal safety systems for fall protection and emergency support. This project presents an Airbag System for Elderly People Fall Protection with Proactive Safety Measures using sensor-based monitoring and automatic protection mechanisms. The proposed system uses an Arduino microcontroller integrated with a MEMS sensor to continuously monitor body movement and tilt angle for fall detection. An LCD display is used to show system conditions and monitoring status, while a buzzer provides alert notifications during abnormal situations. When a sudden fall or unsafe body angle is detected, the system automatically activates a relay-controlled AC air pump that rapidly inflates an airbag/balloon protection mechanism around the elderly person. This airbag system helps reduce the impact of falls and minimizes the chances of severe injuries. The proposed system provides automatic fall detection, rapid safety response, improved elderly protection, and enhanced personal healthcare support. The project offers a low-cost and efficient solution for elderly safety and proactive fall protection applications.
