Development of Data-driven Metrics for Balance Impairment and Fall Risk Assessment in Older Adults
A study published this week in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering reports a new method to assess balance and falls risk in older adults.
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9681291
This research provides additional support and validation for our Kinesis Balance™ product and is a collaboration with University College Dublin.

A new paper from the Kinesis team, published in Sensors MDPI reports a novel digital biomarker for falls in Parkinson's Disease (PD), to help improve the assessment of PD in clinical trials.
https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/22/1/54
This research, a collaboration with Lundbeck A/S and University College Dublin, reports the development and validation of a digital endpoint using wearable sensors and gait analysis to predict the number of falls experienced by a person with PD.

People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience significant impairments to gait and balance; as a result, the rate of falls in people with Parkinson’s disease is much greater than that of the general population. Falls can have a catastrophic impact on quality of life, often resulting in....

Unsupervised assessment of balance and falls risk using a smartphone and machine learning!
https://lnkd.in/eT-rU9Y

A new paper published today in Sensors reports analysis of data from 594 assessments using the Kinesis Balance smartphone app:
-Strong association between self-reported falls history and the scores produced by the app, suggests they are clinically useful outcome measures.
-Results suggest that unsupervised, self-directed assessment of balance in the home is feasible.

This research was a collaboration between Kinesis, University College Dublin and the Univerity of Limerick.
