NCT ID NCT04354623
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study enrolled 100 older adults (65+) to collect movement data from wearable sensors and video recordings. The goal was to create a database and use machine learning to develop an algorithm that can predict future falls. This could help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and prevent injuries.
