TaFall: Balance-Informed Fall Detection via Passive Thermal Sensing

arXiv:2604.09693v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Falls are a major cause of injury and mortality among older adults, yet most incidents occur in private indoor environments where monitoring must balance effectiveness with privacy. Existing privacy-preserving fall detection approaches, particularly those based on radio frequency sensing, often rely on coarse motion cues, which limits reliability in real-world deployments. We introduce TaFall, a balance-informed fall detection system based on low
