This study introduces electronic textiles (e-textiles) for affordable, wearable home health monitoring. The goal is to improve elderly fall prevention through accessible gait analysis systems.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Wearable Technology
  • Geriatric Care

Background:

  • Current gait analysis systems are laboratory-based, limiting their use in home healthcare settings.
  • Falls in the elderly population are a significant health concern, necessitating effective monitoring solutions.
  • Electronic textiles (e-textiles) present an opportunity for integrated, user-friendly health devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an electronic textile (e-textile) based solution for gait analysis.
  • To develop an inexpensive and widely usable design approach for the elderly population.
  • To demonstrate the potential of e-textile gait analysis for home-based fall prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Design and development of an e-textile system for gait analysis.
