Zusammenfassung:A fall detection system includes a plurality of sensors in which at least one of the sensors is coupled to or disposed near a floor. The fall detection system further includes a central monitoring system in signal communication with the plurality of sensors. The central monitoring system is configured to receive a response signal in response to an activation signal being transmitted from at least one of the plurality of sensors, and determine whether the response signal is indicative of a person being arranged in a prone position on the floor.
