Abstract

Individuals aged 60 and over are considered senior citizens in Malaysia. The number of senior people is increasing in almost every country, including Malaysia. Senile dementia, often known as Dementia, is one of the ailments experienced. As a result, special precautions must be taken to monitor the location and condition of the elderly when they leave the house in order to keep them safe. The goal of this project is to create a portable Smart Tracking and Fall Detection system for older folks that is both efficient and accurate. A GPS module, a SW 420 vibration sensor, and a GSM module comprise this system. If the senior falls, the GPS module will identify the position, and the vibration sensor will detect the vibration. The data will be communicated to the family through SMS using the GSM module. According to the results of the prototype test, the prototype correctly recognises the location when family members request it. The study concluded that the average deviation between the device's coordinates and Google maps is 0.75-1 metres, which is still considered acceptable, and the SMS is delivered in 3-5 seconds if the user falls or becomes lost. The battery may still power the system for 50 minutes before shutting down altogether after 68 minutes.
