Fade: fall detector
Fade can be configured to issue an alert message to a predefined contact after a fall detection, reporting the time and place where the accident occurred, using the device's geolocation tools. This information, which may be sent to the selected contact via SMS and email, can be vital in emergencies as indicated for numerous studies by the leading authorities in the field of emergency services. Fade also allows for a phone call to that contact with automatic activation of the device's speaker.
Fade has been tested in Pabellón Municipal de Deportes Miguel A. Díaz Molina, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife with Master Saha C. Afonso, International Coach of Kung Fu with over 20 years of experience. With the knowledge of the Master Saha on different falling techniques and his experience as a stunt specialist, a complete and effective application has been produced. The following video summarizes the testing process that the application was subject to with the collaboration of Master Saha.

Fade is an application being currenly tested. Although it has been thoroughly tested, a 100% success rate in detecting falls or accidents is not guaranteed. ITER S.A. will not take responsibility on any bad use of the application by the user.

wants access to the entire phone with no reasons given eg. photos.
It works but i need it to automatically start and run in the background.
Works as described, this app is also useful to alerting you should your phone be dropped without your being aware. The only issue that I have is the "The I'm OK" button not working for me. This is easy enough to overcome by closing and reopening the app.
I love the app.. but I can't really use it yet. I want to use it for my grandmother, but she does not really know how a smartphone works and she forgets/does not know how to startup this app and activate it. I need this app to have a option to auto start when the smartphone starts up and to activate/arm itself automaticly. My grandmother should only need know how to charge it and how to turn the smartphone on. Who can I contact about this?
Despite restarting the phone and reinstalling the app, all I get is a message in the top right saying 'Service stopped'. No hint as to what.
It sends a text correctly and attempts the phone call, but a robo-female voice says "Could not complete your call. Please try again" This is on an Android/Google Nexus 5.
The app registers the fall but doesn't trigger the alarm.. Shame, this is exactly what I was looking for
Either overly sensitive or not sensitive enough. Tried it on both my S3 and my S5. After a few hours of experimenting I'm afraid I have to uninstall from both.
It has good potential. But it has few drawbacks that makes it not ready for emergency. At least not for elderly. 1. It does not restart on system restart. 2. It stops detecting after one detection. 3. It send message to only one person.
I have a spinal injury and this so far as I've tested works. I feel safer trying to walk without an assistant
I'm sharing with all my friends and doctors The green squiggly line is fascinating My new security blanket Thanking the developer Wish I had it a week earlier. Very sensitive, even on low setting.
So far ok. Just can't tell it I am ok. Have to kill the app. Also no way to control detect tone sound level. I will give it a 5 when these are corrected. I am disabled and hard of hearing.
GOOD APP. i love it. Need more settin feature required to use in commercial use. Like custome mail server setting. Inform to custome webserver through api. Alaram desible throug server or push notification. I not get email to my mailbox. Also auto start service after fall detection notification send
hi, this is a great apps..i m currently doing a almost same apps with this apps, but i dont know how many threshold i should set on the apps..
It triggered on everything. It triggered when I turned around or put the phone on my pocket. I tried changing sensitivity settings to no avail. Maybe it's just not compatible with my S5.
Well all i can say is every time iv had a fall since i installed this it has actually sent a text to my carer!!! So it does work!!!
You need the ability to set the recovery sensitivity, I only have to rock my phone slightly to deactivate it and being a motorcyclist this could easily be falsely disabled by writhing in pain.
Won't work says can't detect fall due to Display setting horizontal xyz. I go to where it directs me, but nothing is there for horizontal. So the first setting isn't configured. Why is this? What am I missing?
Can you develope for samsung gear S3 smartwatch...sometimes i dint have my phone when I fall, but always have my watch, great job!!!
Too much false alarm... Need to improve
Broke my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini trying to get this to work. From smacking it on my hand, the dining room table to throwing it across the room. Graph shows movement, but no call or sms. Won't be installing on my new phone. Will look for a program that works.
Painfully dated, awkward and limited interface. Hasn't been updated in years and it shows. Not senior-friendly in the least.
bug : it send sms when i shake it .
I have very little experience with this app. After installing & completing set-up with low sensitivity, I set my phone on my desk & the alarm went off. The button would not work to dismiss the alarm. I tried closing the app, the alarm continued🙁 Only way I could stop it was uninstalling app. I was trying to do a trial before recommending to my mom. I have a Samsung Note 9 - am I missing a setting?
