- Title
Toward the Design of a Wearable System for Fall-Risk Detection in Telerehabilitation.

Daniele Giansanti; Sandra Morelli; Giovanni Maccioni; Giovanni Costantini
- Abstract
The authors have further developed a system to assess the motion of a patient in telerehabilitation using accelerometers. The gyroscopes and three assessment algorithms allow the distant therapist to make a proper assessment not possible with video alone. The system is wearable and articulates with Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) for messaging. One subject was monitored in a telemedicine link. The test showed a high degree of acceptance.
