Hi Luis, SHIMMER is a good platform for BSN-based application, as it features motion sensors and, as well as expansion connectors for additional ones.
As for a software point of view, you can have a look at the framework we are developing, SPINE (http://spine.tilab.com). It is a completely open source project and the 1.3 release is coming out before the end of the year. In a few words, SPINE allows managing star WSNs from a coordinator station (e.g. PC or laptop) via Java APIs. It also offers simple techniques to add new sensor drivers, signal processing functions running directly on the sensing nodes, etc... SPINE supports different mote platforms running TinyOS 2.x, and the SHIMMER is among them. Our research group have developed a physical activity monitong application (that includes a fall-detector) prototype ontop of SPINE and the Tmote Sky platform (with a custom motion board). If you are interested, let me know!
