Abstract
Elderlies with either CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) or stroke, which are the most common complication of diabetes, have a high risk of unexpected falls or accidents. Falls that elderly patients experience may not cause deadly effects; however, small injuries can cause more frequent falls and life quality decline. Falls that occur in houses can be prevented and meticulously monitored with the use of robust fall detectors. Home monitoring devices using Artificial Intelligence are a far better choice than wearable devices that cannot be worn while sleeping or using the bathroom and can cause irritation. The positive impact of using home monitoring devices extends from enhancing the quality of life for seniors, offering a peaceful mind for the seniors and the caregivers, and minimizing the negative impact when accidents occurs, to reducing the costs of regular transportation usage and employing caregivers.
