Zusammenfassung:A fall detection system is provided, which includes at least one processing device, at least one personal module including a personal module pressure sensor, and at least one reference module including a reference module pressure sensor. The at least one processing device is arranged to receive personal pressure data from the at least one personal module pressure sensor, receive reference pressure data from the at least one reference module pressure sensor, determine a personal pressure using the personal pressure data and the reference pressure data, determine an individual personal pressure profile based on the historical personal pressure of the individual, compare the personal pressure with the individual personal pressure profile, which may e.g. be an individual personal pressure threshold, and set a fall detection alert based at least on whether the personal pressure lies beyond the individual personal pressure profile, e.g. by being above the individual personal pressure threshold.
