DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FALL DETECTION AND PREVENTING FALSE ALARMS

A system may include a fall detection pendant configured to be worn by a user. The fall detection pendant includes an accelerometer configured to measure acceleration, a pressure sensor configured to measure barometric pressure and processing logic. The processing logic may be configured to identify a fall event based on data from the accelerometer and the pressure sensor, and determine, based on the fall event, whether a fall has occurred. The system may also include a first repeater device configured to receive information from the fall detection pendant indicating that a fall has occurred, and signal at least one of a second repeater device or a coordinator device that the fall has occurred.
