Smart Floor - Hoe werkt het

How does the Fall Prediction application work?

When a person walks over a Smart Floor, various walking parameters are measured, including walking speed, step length, step frequency and foot accelerations. Data is generated using a wearable sensor (walking sensor), worn around the ankle. This data is transmitted to the Smart Floor software application that quantifies and visualizes movement information of the individual. Based on the walking parameters, a validated algorithm predicts the risk of falling.

The Fall Risk Test

The risk of falling is divided into three risk categories: low, increased or high fall risk. Within seconds the results of the Fall Risk Test are displayed on an easy-to-interpret thermometer. Discussing the results with the elderly opens the conversation about vitality, lifestyle or the possible cause of an increased fall risk.

Types of Smart Floor

The Smart Floor is available in different types. Below is an overview of the options.

Mobile Smart Floor

The mobile Smart Floor is 1 meter wide and available in two different lengths, 6 meters and 10 meters. The floor can be easily rolled up, stored in a bag and transported. This makes it ideal for use at various locations.

Integrated Smart Floor

Integrated Smart Floor systems can be installed within a few hours into existing or newly constructed floors. The integrated Smart Floor must be at least 6 meters long and 1 meter wide.

How does the Rehabilitation application work?

This software application is used by physiotherapists for clinical measurements. It includes tests such as the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MLT), the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, all conducted on a Smart Floor that is at least 10 meters long.
