Smart walker monitors gait, assesses falling probability

Footprints by Quanticare is a walker that  continuously collects passive and contextual gait data, with the goal of predicting and preventing senior falls.  Its computer vision algorithm captures spatio-temporal gait metrics of the user and sends the data to a health care provider.

The company claims that  the walker could measure an osteoarthritic limp to improve PT protocols, and that it can gauge  MS progression by measuring the difference between  steps.
