Notice the differences in the point-cloud outlines in the figure indicating the person’s stance.įigure 2. The demo can also be modified to use TI’s IWR6843AOPEVM antenna-on-package EVM.įigure 2 shows the 3D point-cloud information, which enables the system to analyze the height and stance of an individual through point-cloud shape and color without revealing identifiable information. In the demo, the EVM is mounted at a height of 6.5ft, and the wide elevation field-of-view helps increase visibility down to the floor and minimizes dead zones.
The demo uses the IWR6843ISK-ODS EVM, which has a 120-degree field of view in both azimuth and elevation. The IWR6843 is used because the 60GHz band is open worldwide for industrial RF sensing applications Here we have TI’s “Detecting Human Falls and Stance” demo, which showcases TI’s 60 GHz IWR6843 single-chip sensor and its ability to detect the height and stance of a person when the sensor is mounted on a wall.

The sensors can detect in all lighting conditions, in addition to sensing through materials, and provide data parameters to the system of range, angle and velocity in a scene by leveraging 3D point-cloud information. TI’s IWR6843 millimeter wave (mmWave) sensors enable high-accuracy fall detection without the need for contact with the person being monitored. How TI’s mmWave sensors help solve the challenges of today’s fall detection systems Fall detection systems can use sensor-driven solutions to provide non-contact, non-privacy invasive sensing through accurate point-cloud data.įigure 1: TI mmWave sensors can be used for stance detection in elderly, disabled and emergency monitoring systems Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one-fourth of seniors fall every year and falls are the leading cause of trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults, as shown in Figure 1. With a growing elderly population comes the need for more advanced in-home monitoring, while still allowing people to maintain personal autonomy. To put this into perspective, this will represent over a fifth of the world’s population. This article was co-written by Keegan GarciaĪccording to Forbes, by 2050, the global population of people over the age of 60 is expected to hit 2 billion.
