A computer-implemented method of determining a fall risk of a subject, the method comprising:
- receiving a first data set containing measurements of movements of the subject over a period of time;
- receiving a second data set indicative of context information of the subject, wherein the second data set contains measurements that cover the same period of time as is covered by the first data set;
- selecting a part of the first data set based on the second data set;
- and
- determining a fall risk based on movement measurements in the selected part of the first data set.
An apparatus for determining a fall risk of a subject, the apparatus comprising:
- a processing unit configured to:
- receive a first data set containing measurements of movements of the subject over a period of time;
- receive a second data set indicative of context information of the subject, wherein the second data set contains measurements that cover the same period of time as is covered by the first data set;
- select a part of the first data set based on the second data set;
- and
- determine a fall risk based on movement measurements in the selected part of the first data set.
