A device and process for optimizing fall detection determined by a wireless device includes receiving with a server potential fall parameter data from a fall detection device associated with a wireless device and analyzing with the server the potential fall parameter data to determine whether the data is consistent with a real fall. The device and process further include sending with the server an alert to the wireless device if the potential fall parameter data is indicative of a real fall and receiving with the server an indication from the wireless device in response to the alert, wherein the indication includes an indication that the potential fall parameter data was one of the following: a real fall or a false positive.
