Boosting Preventative Care with AI-Powered Wearable

Researchers at the University of Arizona Gutruf Lab have developed a wearable device that incorporates artificial intelligence to detect subtle warning signs of frailty in the elderly.

The sleeve simultaneously records and analyzes motion of the wearer and produces an AI analysis. With the device sending just the results, not the actual hundreds of hours of recorded data, transmission is reduced by 99% and the need for high-speed internet is eliminated. Results are transferred via Bluetooth to a smart device. And long-range wireless charging capabilities free the user from plugging in the device or swapping out a battery.
