Abstract
Falls are a big deal in healthcare tech, especially because older folks are falling more often. But, things are changing fast! Machine learning and the Internet of Things? They're totally shaking up how we deal with this, making things way more accurate and quicker when someone needs help. We now have awesome sensors and smart computer programs that are good at spotting when a fall might happen or when it just did, so it’s important to check out what tech is doing these days. Looking closely at these new technologies helps us see where different sensors shine, how they use data, and what they're not so great at. This essay wants to give you the big picture, so we can really get what's going on with spotting and stopping falls, and hopefully help people stay healthier (Tariq U et al., 2023)(Hassani S et al., 2023).
