Real-Time Human Motion Tracking with Accelerometers

Accelerometer-based tracking harnesses motion-sensing technology to monitor human activity and movement in real time. These systems rely on sensors that detect changes in velocity and orientation, enabling precise tracking without the need for GPS or external signals. This technology is ideal for indoor and hybrid environments, offering critical data for safety, performance, and health monitoring.

Accelerometer-based systems are widely adopted in industries requiring dependable activity detection and motion pattern analysis. Their integration into wearables and IoT solutions enables smarter environments, improved worker safety, and advanced behavioral insights.

Case Studies

Los Angeles, California – Manufacturing Plant Safety

A manufacturing company implemented wearable accelerometers to track worker motion and detect falls or prolonged inactivity. The real-time alerts reduced response times and improved OSHA compliance, contributing to a safer work environment. 

Orlando, Florida – Elder Care Monitoring

In a network of elder care facilities, accelerometer-enabled wearables were deployed to monitor movement patterns and detect falls. Staff could intervene swiftly, ensuring better care outcomes and improved family confidence in the system. 

Vancouver, British Columbia – School Campus Monitoring

An urban school system used wearable accelerometers to ensure safe movement across a large multi-building campus. The system helped identify idle time, unauthorized zone entry, and supported activity-based health tracking for students.
