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.

IEEE P3707™, Standard for Embodied Artificial Intelligence Application Framework in the Elderly Care Industry
This standard defines a reference framework and core technical requirements for embodied artificial intelligence (E-AI) applications in the elderly care industry. It specifically addresses systems with physical embodiment and environmental interaction capabilities, including intelligent service robots, E-AI-driven health monitoring devices, adaptive human-robot collaboration platforms, context-aware decision support systems, and integrated operational infrastructures for elderly care institutions. The framework emphasizes the design of E-AI systems through hardware-software co-development, multi-modal data fusion, real-time environment perception, ethical safety protocols, and seamless integration with human-centric workflows.

IEEE P2998™, Recommended Practice for Building Accessible Applications
This recommended practice provides a consistent method to enable web content and web applications to be accessible for people with disabilities, including blindness and visual impairment by enabling text to speech, captioning of images and auto-detection of user accessibility limitations that may exist.

IEEE P7017™, Recommended Practice for Design-Centered Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and Governance
This recommended practice describes the methodology and application of ‘compliance by design’ in the area of human-robot interaction (HRI) with regard to socially assistive robots. Six topics are included: (1) metrics on behaviors for stakeholders in HRI; (2) metrics of different design practices (e.g., value-sensitive design, universal design, etc.) and their impacts to HRI governance; (3) risk assessment of using compliance by design for socially assistive robots; (4) use cases in compliance by design for socially assistive robots; (5) recommended methods for compliance by design for socially assistive robots (e.g., legal rules and knowledge modeling); (6) a conceptual framework of compliance by design for HRI governance, to enable robot developers to efficiently apply ethical behaviors into the design process for socially assistive robots and to help stakeholders reduce legal conflicts between existing laws and emerging technologies regarding the use of socially assistive robots in human spaces.
