Fall detection models struggle with real-world data scarcity, study finds

Researchers have evaluated various motion representations for fall detection systems, particularly focusing on scenarios with limited real-world data. They found that complex models like kernel-based and foundation models perform well on simulated data but struggle with real-world scarcity and domain shifts. A simpler symbolic representation, when augmented with physically-grounded impact descriptors, showed the most resilience to data scarcity and domain changes, highlighting the importance of evaluating models beyond simulated benchmarks for practical deployment.

    Beyond Simulated Benchmarks: Evaluating Motion Representations for Fall Detection Under Real-World Data Scarcity

    arXiv:2608.13197v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Falls are a major health concern for older adults, and wearable sensors have been widely explored for detecting falls and enabling timely intervention. However, real-world falls are extremely rare: collecting 100 of them requires an…
