Résumé
Falls represent a threat to older adults, overload healthcare systems, and reduce quality of life. Vision-based fall detection has advanced recently through deep learning, yet most proposed models lack validation on physical hardware and do not report inference-time metrics. This systematic review, following PRISMA and Kitchenham guidelines, targets this gap. We focus exclusively on vision-based systems that report inference speed on a specified device. We define real-time performance using a threshold of 10 fps, based on the reported duration of the critical fall phase in real-life falls. From 588 records across IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Web of Science Core Collection, and PubMed (2019-2024), only 11 met all inclusion criteria, highlighting how few studies validate real-time performance on physical hardware. The findings show that CNN-based architectures dominate algorithm choice, edge devices dominate deployment platforms, and optimization remains central to real-time inference on constrained hardware. Across these studies, we identify two persistent limitations: no real-world testing with older adults and reliance on small, controlled datasets with simulated falls.
