Problem
Falls are a significant risk for the elderly, leading to injuries, loss of independence, and increased healthcare costs. Traditional fall risk assessments often require specialized personnel and equipment, making frequent and accessible testing difficult. This can result in delayed intervention and a higher incidence of fall-related incidents.
Solution
Age Impulse offers Gaitwin, a patented solution for rapid fall risk assessment using gait analysis. The system consists of a wearable sensor placed on the lower back and a mobile application powered by AI. The sensor captures gait data, which is then processed to create a "digital twin" of the user's walking pattern. This digital twin identifies deficient gait markers and provides a comprehensive fall risk assessment in just 15 seconds, without requiring specialized personnel. Based on the assessment, users can be guided to personalized care pathways and gamified rehabilitation programs to improve their gait and reduce their risk of falling, promoting autonomy and improving their quality of life.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes retirement homes, rehabilitation centers, remote care organizations, and health insurance companies seeking to improve fall prevention and promote senior autonomy.
