Abstract
A study was realized in France to meet the requirements of an autonomous fall sensor worn on the body. It consisted of a written questionnaire of which 149 were returned completed, which reveals that users are favorable to the use of a portable fall detector, worn like a watch, all through their daily activities, with a special wish for an audio feed back of the correct activity and, moreover, are ready to pay for the service on a monthly rate basis.Keywords
