Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for detecting that a human or other object is on-the-floor, e.g., after a fall or other means of descent to the floor. The disclosed technology does not require a historic trajectory of movement, nor does the disclosed technology require a worn device. Detection is performed by determining the configuration of the subject using environmental data, such as visual data or depth data.

Abstract: The disclosed technology enables, among other things, the identification of persons and the characterization of mental perceptions (e.g., pain, fatigue, mood) and/or intent (e.g., to perform an action) for medical, safety, home care, and other purposes. Of significance are applications that require long-term patient monitoring, such as tracking disease progression (e.g., multiple sclerosis), or monitoring treatment or rehabilitation efficacy. Therefore, longitudinal data must be acquired over time for the person's identity and other characteristics (e.g., pain level, usage of a cane). However, conventional methods of person identification (e.g., photography) acquire unnecessary personal information, resulting in privacy concerns. The disclosed technology allows measurements to be performed while protecting privacy and functions with partial or incomplete measurements, making it robust to real-world (noisy, uncontrolled) settings, such as in a person's home (whether living alone or with others).
