Abstract

A method predicts the fall risk of a user based on a machine learning model. The model is trained using data about the user, which may be from wearable sensors and depth sensors, manually input by the user, and received from other types of sources. Data about a population of users and data from structured tests completed by the user can also be used to train the model. The model uses features and motifs discovered based on the data that correlate to fall risk events to update fall risk scores and predictions. The user is provided a recommendation describing how the user can reduce a predicted fall risk for the user.
