Fall Detection

The Fall Detection app is designed to observe people's movement in a hospital environment. You can use it to detect when people have fallen over in hospital wards and to inform XProtect Smart Client operators of the falls.

The purpose of using Fall Detection is to help hospital staff respond fast when people have fallen in hospital wards and to ensure the safety and comfort of the people who are being monitored.

In this initial release, the Fall Detection app can detect if a person has fallen over in cases when there are no other people in the camera image at the same time.

The application is developed for use in collaborative environments. Situations such as people faking falls, tying their shoelaces, or people in wheelchairs might generate unexpected results. To get the most optimal performance of the system, monitor and adjust the app settings as needed.

Milestone has done extensive testing to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the Fall Detection component of XProtect Hospital Assist. However, Milestone makes no guarantee, express or implied, that this product will detect a patient fall. As with any other AI-based technology, the performance of the fall detection alerts depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the environment, light, camera angle, and distance of the camera to the object.
