Abstract

With medical and technological advancements allowing increasingly longer lives, achieving ongoing quality of life in the older population is becoming increasingly important. This population, aged 65 or older, has a greatly increased probability of experiencing a fall, which can have seriously detrimental impacts on quality of life and impose substantial health-care costs. Fall prevention is, therefore, fundamental to successful ageing and gait analysis provides a powerful tool for tackling this component of public health. This paper presents findings showing the potential of a novel mm-wave wearable sensor system for realworld gait monitoring. Results of experiments showing the detection of non-conductive obstacles are presented and it is concluded that this technology is feasible for further developments in falls-prevention focussed wearable devices.
