Abstract
A method for predicting a fall includes: obtaining a series of force data using a plurality of force sensors worn on a subject's foot over a time window; obtaining a series of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data from at least a first IMU worn on the subject's foot over the time window; inputting input data into a machine learning model, where the input data includes at least the series of force data and the series of IMU data, and where the machine learning model is trained to employ a set of parameters to generate fall prediction data using the input data; and outputting an indication of the fall prediction data.
Claims20
A system for predicting a fall, comprising:
- an input device that is wearable on a subject's foot, the input device comprising a plurality of force sensors for use in obtaining a series of force data from the subject's foot over a time window, and at least a first inertial measurement unit (IMU) for use in obtaining a series of IMU data from the subject's foot over the time window;
- a non-transitory storage memory storing a machine learning model trained to employ a set of parameters to generate fall prediction data using input data that comprises at least the series of force data and the series of IMU data;
- a processor configured to receive the force data and the IMU data from the input device and input the input data into the machine learning model;
- and
- an output device for outputting an indication of the fall prediction data.
