Abstract
Eyewear or any other suitable wearable device may include one or more sensors for monitoring the gait of an individual. Information from the one or more sensors is analyzed to identify one or more medical conditions associated with the individual or to assess an individual's recovery from a particular injury or medical procedure.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for:
- receiving, at a gait server, information obtained from at least one sensor worn adjacent the individual's head;
- using, by the gait server, the information to assess the gait of the individual;
- analyzing, by the gait server, the assessed gait using regression analysis techniques to determine whether the assessed gait includes one or more particular gait patterns that are associated with a particular medical condition;
- and
- in response to determining that the assessed gait includes the one or more gait patterns, generating an alert that the individual may have the particular medical condition.
A system for monitoring a gait of an individual, the system comprising:
- a pair of glasses comprising means for determining gait information to assess the gait of the individual, the gait information comprising at least first gait information associated with a first period of time and second gait information associated with a second period of time;
- one or more processors operatively coupled to the means for determining gait information;
- memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the system comprises:
- means for analyzing the gait information to determine whether the assessed gait includes one or more particular gait patterns that are associated with a particular medical condition;
- and
- means for, at least partially in response to determining that the assessed gait includes the one or more gait patterns, generating an alert that the individual may have the particular medical condition.
A system for monitoring a gait of an individual, the system comprising:
- a pair of glasses comprising one or more sensors for assessing the gait of the individual;
- a computer system comprising a processor, the computer system being configured for:
- analyzing the assessed gait using regression analysis techniques to determine whether the assessed gait includes one or more gait patterns that are consistent with a particular medical state of an individual;
- and
- in response to determining that the assessed gait includes the one or more gait patterns, generating an alert that communicates the particular medical state.
