  • Publication number: 20210182298
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a user's health/wellness condition. Gait-based biometric data from a user is gathered using a sensor module. The biometric data is transmitted to a data processing module that compares characteristics of the biometric data with previously obtained baseline biometric data from the same user. Differences between the current data and the baseline data indicate changes in the user's condition. Databases containing kinematic chain models for the user are used to obtain more accurate and more specific indications regarding determined changes in the user's condition. A base kinematic chain model is created for the user when the user first uses the system and current kinematic chain models are generated for each biometric data set gathered. Characteristics of the base and the current kinematic chain models are compared to determine changes in the user's condition.

  • Patent number: 10885041
    Abstract: Systems and methods for diagnosing a user's condition based on his gait. A sensor module with multiple sensors is placed inside a user's shoe and biometric data is gathered from the sensors when the user takes a step or walks. The data is used to generate loops as the various sets of data is plotted against each other. The loops obtained from the data are then compared against stored loops previously obtained. Based on the results of the comparison, the user's condition is diagnosed using predetermined indicators of specific health issues. Using the biometric data and in conjunction with data from various databases, it can be determined whether the user has a specific condition, whether a specific condition is worsening, or whether a specific condition is improving.
