SOS Falling Watch

Emergency SOS smartwatch for fall detection

The SOS Falling Watch is a wearable safety device designed to monitor user movement and detect sudden falls or high-impact accidents in real-time.

By integrating an ESP32 microcontroller with high-precision accelerometers, the system processes motion data to trigger emergency alerts when predefined safety thresholds are exceeded.

This project provides a unique, portable safety solution for elderly care or hazardous work environments, bridging the gap between wearable technology and life-saving alerts.
