Abstract

In this study we propose a low-cost portable device to monitor the vertigo and syncope patients whether normal, dizziness or falls. The purpose of this study is design and manufactures a device using an accelerometer sensor to determining the condition of patients who are at risk of vertigo and syncope. The patient’s condition is detected by accelerometer which read the values of the x, y and z axes to determine condition normal, dizzy, or fall. This device also uses a real time clock to remind the patient to take medication three times a day. The device outputs are LCD Oled, Voice, and SMS notification. If the patient condition is falls an SMS notification will be sent, the dizzy condition vertigo patient will press the panic button first and then an SMS notification will be sent. The test results of this device, 30 times falls detection, obtained a sensitivity value for dizziness activity is 83.3% and a sensitivity value for falling activity is 90%. The system takes an average of 8 seconds after a drop in activity to send SMS notifications to phone number users, and it also takes an average of 5 to 6 seconds after a dizzy activity to make phone calls to phone number users.
