Discussing the implementation of smart watch fall alarm algorithm from Apple Watch fall algorithm
Apple Smart watch fall alarm
Recently, an interesting news caused widespread concern in the industry, “Apple Watch fall monitoring function” trouble “, Spielberg’s speech was interrupted, Spielberg, the famous director of the “Jurassic Park” and “Artificial Intelligence” and other films, gave a speech at a seminar, combined with body language, The Apple Watch generated a fall alarm that interrupted his speech, and in order to continue his speech, Spielberg took the watch off and tossed it to the side. Since the watch did not receive a response from the wearer, it activated the countdown and prepared to automatically call the emergency services. Realizing that something was wrong, Spielberg quickly picked up the watch and canceled the alarm.Check the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzKcrhzNtYI
This episode not only demonstrated the potential of smartwatches for security monitoring, but also exposed the challenges of accuracy. As an international company focused on smart wearable devices, ThinkRace immediately conducted in-depth analysis to improve the Smart watch Fall alarm performance.
ThinkRace smart wearable devices
ThinkRace is committed to the design, research and development of smart wearable devices and the provision of industry solutions. It has profound technology accumulation and innovation capabilities, and its products are recognized worldwide, especially in the fields of smart elderly care, sports health management and industry positioning security monitoring. The products cover more than 10 countries in North America, South America and the Middle East. In intelligent elderly care, intelligent site management, community correction (supervision of prisoners outside prison), mining and mine personnel management and other industry applications, GPS/ Beidou and wireless technology achieve all-round monitoring, providing positioning and health data for the elderly, workers, bail personnel, etc., effectively protecting their safety and health.
Smart watch Fall alarm
The fall alarm function is vital for the elderly and people in certain occupations to notify family or emergency services at critical times and avoid tragedies. However, smartwatches face the dual challenges of false positives and sensor accuracy in achieving this function. ThinkRace is very concerned about this and is working to develop more accurate algorithms to reduce false positives and ensure that alerts can be issued when they are really needed.
For example, in this “disturbance” of Apple Watch, ThinkRace analysis believes that Apple Watch mainly judges the fall alarm through the three-axis acceleration sensor and gyroscope, and these sensors are very sensitive to high dynamic and large range of motion, so when performing certain hand activities, such as Spielberg’s waving and raising arms. It could be mistaken for a fall. In addition, Apple Watch’s fall detection algorithm was developed based on a large amount of data collection and analysis to identify fall movements. However, the algorithm may not be perfect and may sometimes incorrectly interpret certain movements as falls.
New sensors improve the accuracy
ThinkRace’s smart watch is able to achieve a fall alarm through a similar fall algorithm to the Apple Watch, which can meet the needs of most industry applications, such as elderly safety and health monitoring, worker safety and health monitoring. On this basis, ThinkRace has also done some research on new sensors and algorithms, and if the loved object wears a sensor at the waist position while wearing the smart watch, the fall alarm will be more accurate. Considering that the posture of the hand is very rich, and the strength and speed are usually beyond the posture of the body, it is not easy to accurately determine whether the wearer’s body is falling. The movement and movement of the waist can better reflect the change of the body posture than the hand, so the judgment of the fall will be more accurate. Of course, this approach will add a new device, ThinkRace is usually through Bluetooth waist sensor and smart watch communication. This solution can be used in industry applications where fall alarms are more demanding.
AI reduce false alarm
ThinkRace’s research and development team is also working on machine learning algorithms and AI to further reduce false positives by analyzing user activity patterns through artificial intelligence.
ThinkRace aims to provide a smart watch that is both accurate and user-friendly, capable of responding quickly in emergency situations while minimizing distractions in everyday life. When a fall event is detected, the watch will automatically start an emergency response mechanism, including notifying emergency contacts, sending positioning information and dialing emergency services to ensure that the safety and health of users are protected to the greatest extent.
