Gait Monitoring

Gait Monitoring Utilizing Magnetic Tracking for Dementia Detection in Early Stages

Detecting dementia (Alzheimers, Parkinsons, etc.) in early stage is curial. One of the early stage symptoms of dementia is gait change. Existing solutions for gait monitoring for early stage dementia detection relies on indirect gait sensing such as acceleration, bending angle, pressure, etc.

We use a magnetic tracking system to directly and accurately monitor gait. The goal of the project is detecting dementia in early stages by monitoring the gait patterns and their changes over time.
