Abstract

Wireless transmitter apparatus configured to be worn by a person to be monitored in a building, comprising an accelerometer, a processor for comparing sensed values from the accelerometer with stored threshold values to provide and transmit an output signal indicative of whether the person may have fallen. The apparatus is part of a monitoring system including a system for monitoring the safety of a person in a building, comprising: a wireless transceiver configured to be worn by the person and comprising a motion sensor; a plurality of sensor tags (T1-T5) each having a sensor and configured to be placed at fixed, distributed locations, around the building to detect the presence of the person; each tag having a processor configured to receive presence data from its own sensor simultaneously with confirmatory data from the wireless transceiver, and to process the presence data and confirmatory data to determine whether the person is likely to have passed the corresponding tag; and a gateway device configured to receive data from the tags indicative of the position of the person within the building.
