Walking cane for elderly people, embedded movement sensors, detects any abnormal situation (fall detection, activity drop, etc.). It automatically alerts relatives, without user action, when needed. The connected cane use movement data coming from the smart cane and combine them with other outside data to learn the user’s habits and detect unusual situations (low activity: disease or tiredness, fall, later and later awakenings, and so on). The cane directly connects itself to the GSM network. Caregivers automatically receive a phone call, a text message or an email. It may include georeferencing (thanks to an embedded GPS system). The caregiver signals that he/she can respond to the alert. Confirmation is sent to the cane, which lets its user know that someone has been warned.
