TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - A novel detection model and its optimal features to classify falls from low- and high-acceleration activities of daily life using an insole sensor system JO - Sensors (Basel) A1 - Cates, Benjamin A1 - Sim, Taeyong A1 - Heo, Hyun Mu A1 - Kim, Bori A1 - Kim, Hyunggun A1 - Mun, Joung Hwan SP - s18041227 EP - s18041227 VL - 18 IS - 4 N2 - In order to overcome the current limitations in current threshold-based and machine learning-based fall detectors, an insole system and novel fall classification model were created. Because high-acceleration activities have a high risk for falls, and because of the potential damage that is associated with falls during high-acceleration activities, four low-acceleration activities, four high-acceleration activities, and eight types of high-acceleration falls were performed by twenty young male subjects. Encompassing a total of 800 falls and 320 min of activities of daily life (ADLs), the created Support Vector Machine model’s Leave-One-Out cross-validation provides a fall detection sensitivity (0.996), specificity (1.000), and accuracy (0.999). These classification results are similar or superior to other fall detection models in the literature, while also including high-acceleration ADLs to challenge the classification model, and simultaneously reducing the burden that is associated with wearable sensors and increasing user comfort by inserting the insole system into the shoe.
