It was a busy test week for researchers working on the project FCC – Fall Risk Assessment!

We carried out many tests at 3 different centers with seniors with high and reduced fall risk. Participants performed a fall risk assessment test that comprised a physical evaluation and answered questionnaires.

Furthermore, they used a smartphone during the day to monitor their fall risk through an application and sensors from the smartphone.

And we also had the opportunity of collecting data through the smartphone while seniors enjoyed a Carnival party! All the dance movements during the ball were monitored.

It looks like next time we ‘ll need a costume to join the party!
