Walk Well: Smart Sensor based Wearable Leg Support Exoskeleton with Fall Alert

Falls are a major public health concern that requires creative ways to lessen their effects, especially for older folks and those in vocational settings. Having seen the potentially disastrous effects of falls, we have created a novel method that wears sensors into an exoskeleton and prevents slip-related mishaps before they happen. Our technology combines small inertial measurement devices positioned strategically on the lower limb with an advanced combination of wearable sensors, including heart rate and pulse oximetry monitoring. All of these sensors work together to create a strong network that can identify slips immediately. This exoskeleton is essential in helping people do gait recovery techniques since it is precisely controlled in terms of torque. Through its ability to react quickly to detected slips, the exoskeleton can potentially avoid loss of balance and stop a series of event that could result in more catastrophic injuries, like hip injuries. Our technology operates in real-time, it guarantees prompt and flexible reactions, providing a proactive defense against slips and falls, which are frequently unpredictable.
