  • Method of assessing human fall risk using mobile systems
    Patent number: 8823526
    Abstract: A method for determining the motive instability of an individual using foot pressure, foot speed and foot direction data collected from sensors on shoes. The sensed data is used to determine the minimum number and the placement of pressure sensors in the shoe. The data from the sensors is processed to extract spatial and temporal parameters as desired. The data is grouped into segments based on a segmentation rule. The trend in each segment is determined. The variability of the trend in each segment is determined. The risk of fall is computed on the basis of the trend and variance. The computation is adjustable by emphasizing certain parameters in order to tailor the instability assessment to a specific individual.

  • Exercise-Based Entertainment And Game Controller To Improve Health And Manage Obesity
    Publication number: 20130090213
    Abstract: Monitoring and rewarding of physical activity are carried out by: (1) receiving a measurement of a physical activity from a sensor; (2) processing the measurement of the physical activity to derive a valid extent of the physical activity; and (3) controlling an entertainment device based on the valid extent of the physical activity.
