ETRI's Bioinformatics Team have developed a mobile phone which connects to a belt sensor which detects falling motion. This was developed, primarily, for elderly people who may be prone to falls. When the sensor detects the falling motion, the mobile phone sends a message to a computer sitting in a hospital and this computer then automatically calls the phone to find out if the person is hurt. The phone is equipped with GPS so that an ambulance can easily find the injured person.
Nice solution, but not if you're an grandmother who enjoys bouncy castles....
