FALL DETECTION SYSTEM FOR FALL DETECTION OF A PERSON, METHOD FOR FALL DETECTION OF A PERSON AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR FALL DETECTION OF A PERSON

Abstract

A fall detection system for performing a fall detection of a person (30) is provided and comprises at least one motion and/or presence detector (1) to detect a motion or a presence of a person (30). The at least one motion and/or presence detector (1) are operated in at least a first operating mode with first operating parameters or a second operating mode with second operating parameters. A fall detector (200) is provided to detect a position or a presence of the person (30) based on sensing signal from at least one motion and/or presence detector (1). The fall detector (200) detects a dwell time a person sitting or lying down and/or determines a hypotension risk index of the person (30). The fall detector (200) activates the second operating mode if the dwell time exceeds a time threshold and/or if the hypotension risk index exceeds a risk index threshold.
