Remote healthcare services, including remote patient monitoring and rapid disease detection, offer benefits such as early disease detection, continuous monitoring, and cost reduction. One of the remote patient monitoring systems is fall detection for the elderly in nursing homes. RFID-based systems, particularly passive tags, have the advantage of requiring minimal maintenance and no dedicated power source, although they still have limitations in detection range. An RFID-based fall detection system can function by embedding passive RFID tags into the clothing of patients or elderly individuals, enabling remote fall monitoring. In its implementation, this system requires software integration to facilitate communication between devices and the transmission of information to caregivers. The software developed is a mobile application using the waterfall methodology to ensure each stage produces the desired outputs. Software requirements were identified using information available from the market and related literature on fall detection software for the elderly. To verify the software's functionality, tests were conducted on all functional and non-functional requirements.
