The purpose of this study is to develop a timely fall detection system aimed at improving elderly care, reducing injury risks, and promoting greater independence among older adults. Falls are a leading cause of severe complications, long-term disabilities, and even mortality in the aging population, making their detection and prevention a crucial area of public health focus. This research introduces an innovative fall detection approach by leveraging Mediapipe, a state-of-the-art computer vision tool designed for human posture tracking. By analyzing the velocity of keypoints derived from human movement data, the system is able to detect abrupt changes in motion patterns, which are indicative of potential falls. To enhance the accuracy and robustness of fall detection, this system integrates an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model specifically optimized for time-series data analysis. LSTM's ability to capture critical temporal shifts in movement patterns ensures the system's reliability in distinguishing falls from other types of motion. The combination of Mediapipe and LSTM provides a highly accurate and robust monitoring system with a significantly reduced false-positive rate, making it suitable for real-world elderly care environments. Experimental results demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed system, achieving an F1 score of 0.934, with a precision of 0.935 and a recall of 0.932. These findings highlight the system's capability to handle complex motion data effectively while maintaining high accuracy and reliability. The proposed method represents a technological advancement in fall detection systems, with promising potential for implementation in elderly monitoring systems. By improving safety and quality of life for older adults, this research contributes meaningfully to advancements in elderly care technology.
