Fall Detection Market Booms to $497.3 Million

As the global population ages, the need for technologies that promote independent living and ensure safety for seniors is rapidly growing. One such technology is the fall detection system (FDS) market, experiencing a significant rise due to its ability to detect falls and trigger timely assistance. Understanding Fall Detection Systems: FDS are electronic devices that can identify when a person has fallen. They typically work by using sensors to monitor movement patterns and body positions. Common types of FDS include: Wearable: These are devices like pendants, watches, or clips attached to clothing. They utilize accelerometers and gyroscopes to detect sudden changes in movement or impact that might indicate a fall. Non-wearable: These systems rely on sensors embedded in the environment, such as floor mats, pressure sensors, or even cameras with advanced video analytics. They analyze activity patterns and deviations from normal movement to detect potential falls. Benefits and Applica
