Fall avoidance systems reduce injuries due to unintentional falls, but most of them are fall detections that activate an alarm after the fall occurrence. Since predicting a fall is the most promising approach to avoid a fall injury, this study proposes a method based on new features and multilayer perception that outperforms state-of-the-art approaches. Since accelerometer and gyroscope embedded in a smartphone are recognized to be precise enough to be used in fall avoidance systems, they have been exploited in an experimental analysis in order to compare the proposal with state-of-the-art approaches. The results have shown that the proposed approach improves the accuracy from 83% to 90%.
