PilOT-Measure: a mobile 3D depth sensing application to support accurate and efficient clinician-led home-based falls risk assessments.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An aging global population, coupled with high levels of assistive equipment abandonment, has propelled increases in falls-related injuries at home. Equipment abandonment occurs, in-part, due to inaccurate measurements of the patient's home taken during the falls risk assessment process. There is an urgent need to explore the value of new digital mobile technologies to help clinicians to take more efficient and effective measurements of patient's home, thereby enhancing the efficacy of falls risk assessments and potentially minimising equipment abandonment.

Aim

The aim of this study is to present and evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of PilOT-Measure, a digital mobile 3D depth-sensor-enabled measurement guidance application for use by clinicians carrying out fal
