IonForge is an IoT-based smart fall detection and caregiver monitoring system designed to detect fall events, capture location information, and provide the event details through a connected monitoring dashboard.

The system combines an ESP32-based wearable device, MPU6050 motion sensing, GPS, local emergency alerts, a Node.js backend, database storage, and a React web dashboard.

Each detected fall is represented by a unique Fall Event ID so that the same event can be tracked across the system.

Falls can become serious emergencies when a person is alone or when caregivers are not immediately aware of the incident.

IonForge aims to provide a connected system that can:

• Detect sudden fall-like movement
• Generate a unique fall event
• Capture GPS location
• Provide local emergency alerts
• Send event information to a backend
• Display the event on a caregiver dashboard
• Maintain a history of fall events

Each fall generates a unique event ID.

Example:

ION-FALL-1790611498631-d313a4

The event can contain:

• Event ID
• Device ID
• Person ID
• Latitude
• Longitude
• GPS availability
• Timestamp
• Alert status
• Caregiver acknowledgement

One fall = One unique event.

The backend runs on:

http://localhost:5000

GET:

/api/health

POST:

/api/esp32/fall

The fall event API receives information from the ESP32 system and stores the event for the dashboard.

The React dashboard runs on:

http://localhost:5173

The dashboard can display:

• Backend connection status
• Device online status
• Person ID
• Device ID
• Fall Event ID
• GPS coordinates
• Location availability
• Fall event information

The prototype also includes a:

TEST FALL ALERT

button for demonstrating the complete software workflow without physical hardware.

The ESP32 portion of the project can be tested using Wokwi.

The Wokwi prototype demonstrates the embedded-system logic and sensor workflow.

The final hardware version is intended to integrate the physical components into a wearable/PCB-based device.
