Abstract: The Fall Detection Locket with Emergency Alert System is a compact, wearable safety device designed to provide real-time monitoring and immediate assistance for elderly individuals, patients, and vulnerable users. The system integrates advanced motion sensors including an accelerometer and gyroscope to continuously track body movements and detect sudden falls based on predefined impact and orientation thresholds. Upon detecting a tiill, the device automatically triggers an alert mechanism without requiring manual intervention. The locket is embedded with a microcontroller that processes sensor data using intelligent algorithms to distinguish between normal activities and accidental falls, thereby reducing false alarms. Once a fall is confirmed, the system sends an emergency notification through GSM, LTE, or IoT communication modules to pre-stored contacts, caregivers, or medical services. The alert message may include the user's real-time GPS location to enable rapid response and accurate tracking. Additionally, a manual SOS button is provided for users to request help during emergencies. The device incorporates a buzzer and vibration feedback to inform the wearer that an alert has been sent. Designed in a lightweight and aesthetically pleasing locket form, it ensures comfort, portability, and ease of daily use. The rechargeable battery system ensures long operational life with low power consumption. The system can also be integrated with a mobile application for monitoring activity logs and device status. This innovation enhances personal safety, promotes independent livinA, and pr vides peace of mind to families.
