Summary

This research attempts to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled device for measuring the dynamic balance ability of older people with a sensor using an optical principle called Frustrated Total Internal Reflection. The AI-based algorithm embedded in the device performs the data analysis for balance ability assessment and falling risk prediction. As a critical part of the research, a large-scale user study is needed to test the validity of the device regarding the dynamic balance ability assessment and the accuracy of the falling risk prediction provided by the device. Also, we plan to study the factors influencing user engagement in this device through the questionnaire-based survey and interview.

Conditions

  • Fall
  • Balanced

Interventions

DEVICE

Balance sensor

Participants will engage in the device test, clinical assessment tests, and related user experience surveys to uncover problems in the effectiveness, efficiency, and acceptance of the device prototype. The whole test will last six months, and the outcome will be assessed pre- and post-implementation for comparison and validation. The major testing criteria include the validity and reliability of the device, user experiences, and the accuracy of the device's fall prediction.
