Core Concept:

• Detects real falls and rapid downward movements.

• Alarm activates when acceleration thresholds are exceeded.

• Reduces false alarms with confirmation timing and cooldown periods.

Technical Options:

1. Microcontroller Platform (ESP32/Arduino)

   • Sensors: ADXL345 / MPU6050

   • OLED display for status

   • Buzzer + LED alerts

   • Rechargeable battery with low-power modes

   • Optional Bluetooth to smartphone

2. Smartphone App Integration (Optional)

   • Push notifications for detected alarms

   • Battery and alarm history monitoring

Bill of Materials:

• ESP32 / Arduino Uno

• ADXL345 or MPU6050 accelerometer

• OLED display

• Buzzer + LED indicators

• Battery pack

• Optional microSD storage

Testing Plan:

• Validate against light vibrations (should not trigger alarm).

• Simulate drops with different orientations.

• Confirm sustained acceleration triggers.

• Check cooldown functionality.

Future Enhancements:

• Configurable sensitivity (Low, Medium, High).

• Push alerts to mobile app.

• Event logging and history tracking.

• Sleep/wake monitoring for smart alarms.
