Wearables and machine learning predict five-year fall risk in Parkinson’s patients

Simple external cues, such as lines on the floor, can help Parkinson’s patients focus their efforts and overcome the difficulty of the symptoms. With augmented reality, those cues can be anywhere.

A recent study from the University of Oxford utilized wearable sensor data and machine learning to predict fall risk in Parkinson’s patients over five years. By analyzing walking and postural sway, researchers aimed to provide a more objective method for identifying fall risks in Parkinson’s patients. The study found that machine learning models accurately predicted fall risk, with gait and postural variability identified as significant predicto…

(Wired) – Simple external cues, such as lines on the floor, can help Parkinson’s patients focus their efforts and overcome the difficulty of the symptoms. With augmented reality, those cues can be anywhere. The technique, called external cueing, works by using visual, auditory, or tactile prompts—colored tape on the ground, playing a metronome, or physical vibrations—to engage neural pathways not affected by the disease. “It can help people focu…

Being told you have a chronic illness can make you feel different from the rest of the world. And when there’s something unique about that illness or diagnosis, it can make you feel even further from “normal.” I’ve written about the challenges of finding the right medical care team to treat your body when you have Parkinson’s disease, as I do. However, finding individuals or groups of nonmedical professionals to support you is essential to carin…
