摘要

There is provided a fall detection and/or prevention system, comprising one or more sensors for detecting characteristics of movement of a user of the fall detection and/or prevention system and for generating corresponding signals; processing means for analyzing the signals from the one or more sensors using a fall detection algorithm to determine if a fall has taken place or is likely to take place; wherein the processing means is further adapted to update said fall detection algorithm based on the result of the analysis of the signals and an indication whether a fall has actually taken place from the user or a third party.
