Watch the movement
A sustained low, near-horizontal body position can trigger a fall event. A hand held near the chest is reported as a visible distress gesture.

ICU
Every second counts.
ICU gives a caregiver a timely signal when a person may have fallen or is holding a hand to their chest. The goal is to prompt a human check, with the camera feed and event timeline in the same place.
A local Flask application accepts a webcam, recording, or network stream. MediaPipe pose landmarks feed time-based rules, while server-sent events keep the caregiver dashboard updated.
Computer vision / Local prototype
Give the signal context
Annotated frames, temporal confirmation, repeated-alert cooldowns, and a timestamped incident timeline make the detector’s output inspectable.
A person still checks
Camera angle, occlusion, and intentional lying down can affect results. A gesture does not establish a medical diagnosis. SMS, calls, accounts, and persistent history are future work.
