And it is still trundling around. Just shows that you can build reliable embedded systems.

Intelligent fall detection using TI mmWave radar sensors

Sponsored by Texas Instruments

Actively sense when a fall has occurred and take action such as sending out an alert in response. Our 60GHz antenna-on-package radar sensor (IWR6843AOP) is ideal for fall detection applications since it’s able to detect falls in large, indoor environments, can distinguish between a person sitting and falling, and utilizes a point cloud vs a person’s identifiable features, which allows the sensor to be used in areas where privacy is vital such as bathrooms and bedrooms.
