Abstract

The intensifying global aging trend has made fall risk among the elderly a critical public health issue. This study explores the dynamic evolution of environmental risk mechanisms and the collaborative optimization of intelligent technologies, highlighting the limitations of traditional protective measures in addressing the nonlinear coupling effects of multiple factors. Through comparative analysis of four categories of intelligent sensing technologies (wearable devices, visual monitoring, environmental perception, and multimodal fusion), we validate that multimodal fusion achieves 97.8% detection accuracy in home environments. The research further identifies privacy-ethical conflicts, deployment cost constraints, and sustainability requirements as core challenges for technological implementation. By conducting multidimensional comparisons between traditional protection systems and intelligent solutions, optimization pathways are proposed, including dynamic threshold adjustment, lightweight hardware deployment, and user-participatory design, thereby providing methodological support for constructing intelligent protection systems that balance safety and accessibility. Future research should further reconcile technical precision, accessibility, and ethical compliance to facilitate large-scale applications of intelligent technologies in elderly health management.
