IEEE P3925™, Standard for Evaluation of Wearable Fall Detection Devices
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) extends an invitation for your participation in the Working Group for P3925™, Standard for Evaluation of Wearable Fall Detection Devices.
Scope of proposed standard: This Standard establishes a uniform set of performance evaluation methods for wearable fall detection (FD) devices. The Standard applies to wearable FD devices that have different form factors or modes of operation, including specialized wrist worn or neck pendant devices, or FD functions performed by smartwatches or other commercial devices. The Standard does not encompass the systems to which the FD devices are remotely connected and which receive alerts from the device. The Standard defines types of falls and generic means of measuring and comparing the performance of wearable FD devices and minimum performance and features recommendation.
