Abstract
A system for predicting fall risk for a resident is provided. The system includes a fall risk prediction subsystem, configured to predict a fall risk likelihood for a resident based on data measurements collected from one or more sensors. One or more of the sensors comprise range control radar (RCR) sensors. The fall risk prediction subsystem further includes a fall analysis component configured to analyze the data measurements from one or more of the sensors and a fall risk assessment component configured to predict the fall risk likelihood for the resident based on the analysis.
