Abstract

The importance of fall detection techniques in the developing and developed nations due to the increase in elder population has been discussed in many studies. Their results encouraged many researchers and industries to design new assistive living products to enhance the wellbeing of elders. Meanwhile, no previous researches discussed the importance to involve the elders in their design. Due to this, the elders have less awareness and adaption towards those techniques. In this paper, elders were given a questionnaire to find out their attitude and awareness towards various ambient assistive techniques concerning fall detection. Results revealed that most of the elders see that presence of fall detection is very important. Moreover, there were significant differences between ambient assistive techniques. The study findings assess their nature and adaptability level by the elder and are important to researchers and industries for the design and implementation of ambient assistive techniques in the future.
