  • Method for assessing fall risk based on tracking data of a moving target
    Patent number: 11026599
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for assessing a risk of fall based on tracking data of a subject tracking a moving target. Tracking data of a first subject to the moving target is determined based on sensing a body of the first subject that measure a position of one or more body segments at time increments over a time period. A response of the first subject is characterized based on the tracking data of the first subject. Tracking data of a second subject to the moving target is determined based on sensing a body of the second subject that measure a position of one or more body segments at each time increment over the time period. A risk of fall of the second subject is determined based on the response of the first subject and the response of the second subject.
