  • Abstract
    This paper proposes the new emerging technologies for the elderly assistive system. By combining Internet, embedded systems, and wireless sensor networks, the system can offer a great potential to assist the elderly people to live safely in their homes. The low cost tiny fall detection is also proposed in this paper. The final contribution of this work is to demonstrate our wireless sensor networks technology that applied in the elderly assistive living. This leads to give the promise of improving the healthcare in the developing countries.
