Detecting falls using a mobile device

In an example method, a mobile device receives motion data obtained by one or more sensors worn by a user. The mobile device determines, based on the motion data, that the user has fallen at a first time and whether the user has moved between a second time and a third time subsequent to the first ti...

Zusammenfassung:	In an example method, a mobile device receives motion data obtained by one or more sensors worn by a user. The mobile device determines, based on the motion data, that the user has fallen at a first time and whether the user has moved between a second time and a third time subsequent to the first time. Upon determining that the user has not moved between the second time and the third time, the mobile device initiates a communication to an emergency response service at a fourth time after the third time. The communication includes an indication that the user has fallen and a location of the user.
