First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of assessing the risk of a human being falling, comprising:
- providing a central sever system;
providing a plurality of sensors communicatively coupled to said central server system, none of said sensors being in physical contact with said human being;
receiving at said central server system from said plurality of sensors data about said human being gathered by said plurality of sensors;
said central server system extracting from said received data about said human being a plurality of data features;
said central server system determining a fall risk for said human being based at least in part on said extracted data features.

Abstract
Systems and methods for the automatic assessment of a persons fall risk. The systems and methods utilize an objective standard and evaluation of a person'"'"'s gait and stance, among other factors, to determine such person'"'"'s current instantaneous likelihood of a fall, as well as such person'"'"'s future fall risk. The systems and methods utilize machine observations and calculations to reduce or eliminate bias and the use of subjective assessment criteria.

13. A system for assessing the risk of a human being falling, comprising:
-
a plurality of sensors, none of said sensors being in physical contact with said human being; a central sever system communicatively coupled to said plurality of sensors, said central server system comprising a microprocessor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable program instructions thereon which, when executed by said microprocessor, cause said central server to perform the steps of; receiving from said plurality of sensors data about said human being gathered by said plurality of sensors; extracting from said received data about said human being a plurality of data features; determining a fall risk for said human being based at least in part on said extracted data features. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
