Fall Detection

This project contains code for a wearable necklace that detects when a user has fallen.

It uses a gyroscope and accelerometer connected to a Bluetooth Adafruit Feather to monitor the user’s orientation and motion. Based on this sensor data, a prediction is made using a Random Forest model to determine whether a fall has occurred.

If a fall is detected, a text message is sent to a caregiver using Twilio.
