Health and Fall Monitoring
Fall detection and ambient health monitoring, has been a project of the Geriatric Health & Wellness, Ltd founder for over a decade. Funded by a number of agencies including an NIH STTR and NIH R-01 (October, 2019) this project, using small inconspicuous sensors mounted to the floor of apartments, homes or other dwellings, can detect human falls without any on-body sensors or monitors and will be utilized to monitor health status of older adults in their homes.
In collaboration with ASSET, LLC ( http://asset-us.com) the USC Department of Civil Engineering and Arnold School of Public Health, Department of Exercise Science, a team of investigators are developing a robust system, of home environmental monitoring of persons health in the home, measuring gait speed as well as detecting falls in real-time.
