Title: AVA AI Video-Based Mobile Application for Reliable, Accessible, and Low-Cost Fall Risk Assessments of Older Adults
Public Health Relevance Statement: This project presents AVA, a video-based mobile app for at-home fall risk assessment of older adults, only using a smartphone to enable a much higher access, low-cost solution with full privacy protection. AVA empowers caregivers to assess the gait, balance, and strength of their older adults independently without the direct supervision of healthcare professionals. The Phase I study focuses on validating AVA’s AI-based assessment technology and its usability in diverse home and independent living settings which can lead to revolutionizing current fall risk assessment practices.
