Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute in Korea is working on a sensor module to be installed in the mobile phone.

According to the research institute, the sensor module they are developing can detect if the patient or elders have fallen and send an alert to the terminal.

When a sensor carried on a belt detects a sudden movement like a fall, a mobile phone sends a signal to a computer in a hospital. The computer then calls the phone to check if the person is hurt. If the person needs assistance, the computer reports the fact to the hospital's emergency center and the person's family.

With the GPS integration, the phone can also send the location to the terminal and the person can be located easily.
