Monitoring and visualizing gait of a user of an assistive device

A method for monitoring and visualizing a gait of a user (101) (101) comprises:

• displaying, by a mobile device (103), a user interface (401) via an application (104) stored in the mobile device (103), wherein the user interface (401) allows the user (101) to connect to an assistive device (102) worn by the user (101);
• establishing, by the mobile device (103), a wireless connection with the assistive device (102) via a short-range communication protocol, wherein the assistive device (102) comprising a plurality of sensors produces a measurement data indicating movements of the user (101);
• starting, by the mobile device (103), a gait session to receive the measurement data from the plurality of sensors upon successful establishment of the wireless connection link, wherein the gait session initializes measurement data transmission from the plurality of sensors;
• receiving, by the mobile device (103), an initialization signal from the assistive device (102) confirming readiness of the plurality of sensors to transmit the measurement data;
• activating, by the mobile device (103), a camera (204) of the mobile device (103) to record a video data of the user (101) wearing the assistive device (102) concurrently after receiving the initialization signal, wherein the video data is recorded while receiving the measurement data from the plurality of sensors during the gait session;
• applying, by the mobile device (103), timestamps to frames of the video data of the user (101) with respect to the measurement data based on the initialization signal to obtain time-synchronized gait visualization data (301);
• and
• storing, by the mobile device (103), the time-synchronized gait visualization data (301) within the application (104) for subsequent retrieval and analysis.
