A subgoal of the project was the development of an autonomous fall-detection system for bathrooms. The developed system monitors the bathroom using two types of sensors, performs data-fusion and evaluates the combined data in real-time. If a fall is detected, the system makes an emergency call using the in-house emergency system.

During the project lifetime the system was developed and prototypically installed into four apartments in the "Village Arbergen“.
