by spotting changes in a person’s movement could be available in as little as five years, according to leading healthcare technology developer.to monitor the user’s gait as they move around their house or care home.
But, of potentially even greater benefit, the technology could also be used at an earlier stage to detect the first signs of brain decline, which has been linked to gait changes, Professor Demiris says. Asked at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington whether the technology can be used with a person who is healthy to detect changes in their brain, he said: “Absolutely. It might be even more powerful. You could detect changes in people’s gait. You could even have enough data to detect cognitive decline if you will actively monitor somebody.
Over time, they can document subtle patterns of motion. For instance, they can detect when a person’s gait — or slight variations in limb movements in relation to each other — might change. Such a change can have major health implications for frail elders.Participants had regular check-ups with a nurse coach who studied the data collected.
“The technology allows us to calculate an individualised fall risk score, and with machine learning that can be perfected over time. We found that the technology correlates well with an expert clinical assessment.”
