Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The FANFARE project has developed a system to fulfill the need for a wearable device to collect data for fall analysis. The system consists of a computer and a wireless sensor network to measure, display and store fall related parameters such as postural activities and heart rate variability. Ease of use and low power were considered in the design. The system was built and successfully tested. Medical community now has the tool to collect and analyze fall related data for the purpose of detection and prevention of unintentional falls.
