The EMSD continues to install the Intelligent Fall Detection System in accessible unisex toilets at recreation and sports venues under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). Installation for the initial 30 venues has been completed. Developed by the EMSD, the system provides a real-time alert platform to detect potential accidents within the accessible unisex toilets, thereby notifying resident staff to provide immediate assistance.
The system utilises Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to detect human activity in conjunction with AI models to analyse and distinguish various postures associated with falls, extended instances of no movement and prolonged toilet occupancy. It also features voice recognition that allows users to request assistance verbally. To uphold user safety and privacy, the system operates without camera and image recording. In order to safeguard public safety, the LCSD has proposed to extend the system installation to relevant facilities across 18 districts.
