ICERS: Intelligent Collaborative Emergency Response System

Advances in computer science and technology, coupled with the growing societal demand for enhanced safety, have paved the way for innovative smart home environments. While current smart home systems can send alarms and notify emergency contacts during a crisis, they do not provide timely and convenient on-site emergency assistance, potentially delaying critical aid and compromising user safety. This paper introduces the Intelligent Collaborative Emergency System (ICERS), which addresses this gap through three integrated subsystems: Fall Detection, Vital Signs Monitoring, and Central Dispatch. The Fall Detection module leverages camera video data to classify human positions and estimate potential falls. The Vital Signs Monitoring module employs millimeter-wave radar technology to provide non-contact, real-time health monitoring. The Central Dispatch system receives alert signals from on-edge devices and relays them to medical facilities and volunteer organizations for a coordinated emergency response. By utilizing multimodal data for collaborative efforts, the ICERS ensures that individuals receive timely notifications and coordinated emergency assistance during unforeseen situations.
