About 50 percent of the elderly suffer&nbsp;from fear of falling. A number of them suffer from fear of cooking as they can cause fire, fear of using water as they can&nbsp;cause flooding and so on. <!--more-->These fears in general yield in a low self-efficacy causing less activity. This paper presents the&nbsp;FEARLESS (fear elimination as resolution for loosing elderly\u2019s substantial sorrows) system that will help enhance the&nbsp;participation of elderly in social life and their mobility at home. Robust detection algorithms for falls, smoke and fire&nbsp;based on fusion of audio and image processing approaches, enable the emergency services and relatives to get&nbsp;automatically alerted in case of urgency. The system applies passive sensors for it to remain effective even in case of&nbsp;inability of pressing an alarm button and not to impair the mobility of the user as the wearable sensors do. The system&nbsp;able to detect automatically falls, fire, smoke and unusual behavior in the elderly environments will be developed. This&nbsp;system is conceived for a global deployment. The implementation of such a complex system will be enabled thanks to the&nbsp;features of the robust telematics platform. Moreover, the strategy for the fast adoption of the product by the market which&nbsp;consists of integrating an important part of the supply chain will be described. The proposed system will improve the&nbsp;feeling of safety for the elderly, thus reducing their fears. As a result, elderly will participate actively in the self-serve&nbsp;society which directly will influence their wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/galaxy.agh.edu.pl\/~pimol\/IADIS-E-Health2012-proceedings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/galaxy.agh.edu.pl\/~pimol\/IADIS-E-Health2012-proceedings.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autoren: R-D.
