Development a Prototype of a Fall Notification System with Smart Internet of Things

Abstract

The objectives of this research are: 1) to develop a prototype of a fall notification system with smart internet of things, and 2) to determine the effectiveness of a prototype of a fall notification system with smart internet of things. The research tools consisted of experimental tool and data collecting tool. Experimental tool is a prototype of a fall notification system with smart internet of things developed with HTML, CSS, PHP, connecting to MySQL database, and C++ language to control device operation. Data collecting tool is system efficiency evaluation form. Research methodology can be classified into 5 steps: 1) problem and requirement analysis, 2) system design, 3) system development, 4) system testing, and 5) system evaluation by three purposively selected experts. The findings from this research are: 1) fall notification system with smart internet of things was highly usable, users of the system can view the results of falling alerts through the LINE application, and 2) the efficiency of the proposed system evaluated by three experts is in highest level (X =4.54, S.D.=0.53).
