App Profile: MyWalkSentinel

"MyWalkSentinel" is an innovative application designed to enhance fall risk assessment and prediction in older adults through the power of artificial intelligence (AI). The primary aim of this app is to gather and analyze data from participants engaging in daily activities, such as sitting-to-standing, walking, and turning (360 degrees), within their home environment.

This is our First Generation App that will collect sensor data, and unable us to identify risks in our research.

****MyWalkSentinel App is for authorized accounts selected by MyWalkSentinel research team. The app collects sensor data (movement data from accelerometers and gyroscopes).

By tracking these movements, the app collects valuable data points that are then de-identified to ensure participants' privacy.
The de-identified data serves as a foundation for developing robust, data-driven models capable of assessing and predicting fall risks with high accuracy. This approach aligns with contemporary research trends focusing on integrating AI into healthcare, specifically for fall prevention in older adults. Studies have demonstrated the potential of AI in constructing algorithms for fall-risk assessment, identifying essential risk factors, and even predicting fall risks among various patient populations.
By utilizing advanced machine learning techniques, "MyWalkSentinel" aims not only to provide real-time insights into the participants' risk of falling but also to contribute to the broader research field by enhancing the predictive accuracy of fall risks, thereby fostering preventive care and enhancing the quality of life for older individuals.
