There is provided a system (200) for non-contact computation of an indication of at least one of a fall and a near-fall of a target individual (206) based on ultrasound transmission, comprising: at least one ultrasound transceiver (202) configured for generating an ultrasound transmission (204) and receiving a reflection (208) of the ultrasound transmission, and at least one processor (212) in communication with the ultrasound transceiver, the at least one processor configured for: activating (102) the at least one ultrasound transceiver for generating the ultrasound transmission, and for receiving (104) the reflection of the ultrasound transmission, performing (110) a spectrogram analysis of the received reflection of the ultrasound transmission to compute a plurality of features, and computing (116) an indication of at least one of: a fall of a target individual, and a near-fall of the target individual, by a statistical classifier classifying the plurality of features.
