The average age of our population grows, yet people are also getting busier and busier with never enough time to take care of every one dear to our heart. Make this simple and small fall detector that sends an email notification of their GPS Coordinates via a Bluetooth Connection to a Smartphone. to you whenever it senses extreme motions, so that you can be there to respond as soon as possible.

Protect your loved ones! Build this arduino fall detector today!
