Abstract
Ponencia presentada en: 22nd IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT), del 10 al 12 de marzo de 2021Gait speed (GS) is a crucial parameter in the
evolution and diagnosis of degenerative illnesses. Nowadays, it is
measured in clinical environments where it is impossible to keep
track of all patients due to the lack of resources. The development
of GS measurement systems for in-home environments could
solve this problem, but current methods present, at least, one of
these problems: they require expensive hardware, are intrusive
for the patient, or are imprecise. A novel method to measure
GS in these scenarios using Bluetooth Low Energy and smart
wearable devices is proposed in this work. The proposed system
is inexpensive, non-intrusive, and its precision is comparable
to the current state of the art methods. This system could be
commercialized as part of an in-home health monitoring system
