Description

Current rehabilitative treatment of balance disorder requires long and intensive processes. The development of a wearable device for use in clinic as well as at home and during daily routine activities would enable continuous treatment outside of specialized training settings and accelerated relieve of balance disorder. Irvine Sensors proposes development of a miniature wearable device for measuring body sway and provide sensor feedback to alert the wearer to remain in the region of stability. The BATS will use a suite of low cost inertial sensors and custom algorithms to achieve high accuracy and stable body tilt measurements.
