With the high development of computing technology and sensor technology in recent years, they have been widely used in smartphones, and these technologies have made our cell phones move towards more intelligence. The popularity of smartphones has also reached an unprecedented level, which has greatly facilitated our lives. Along with the development of productivity and social progress, the growing material and cultural needs of the people have been greatly satisfied. However, ideological changes, especially in the concept of fertility, are causing more and more countries to face the problems caused by an aging population, one of which is Singapore. Based on the concept of technology changing life and technology serving life, to relieve society's pressure to take care of the elderly, we will devote ourselves to designing a smartphone application that can monitor the behavioral activities of the elderly in real-time and capture the occurrence of emergencies so that they can receive timely help. The recognition of complex human activities remains a very difficult challenge. The application will work on recognizing the five most common activities of daily life, such as walking, running, walking up and downstairs, and standing still, and will be able to catch serious falls and call for help when they occur.
