Movement spike
High-intensity signal change can be one clue in a possible fall pattern.
Not just stillness
A strong fall workflow should consider a sudden movement spike, floor-zone signature, post-event stillness, room context, and whether the event differs from normal routines.
Family-first alerts
The goal is practical escalation: call the senior, call a neighbor, notify family, or escalate based on a configured care plan.
Zone context
Bed-level stillness and floor-level stillness should not be treated the same.
Human review
Prototype alerts should support decisions, not replace caregivers or emergency services.
Research-backed, carefully stated.
Published work such as RT-Fall and WmFall supports Wi-Fi-based fall-pattern research, while SteadyHome still needs its own calibration and validation.
