Motion-assisted interface to help prevent fall incidents in the elderly.
Falls are a major cause of injury for older people, and the early signs often show in how someone walks. BSAFE is a proof of concept that lets carers and family film that on an ordinary phone, so it can be checked for risk.
Most phone video is too shaky or dark to use, so the app coaches you while you record. Three checks sit under the viewfinder: subject in view, good light, steady camera. Once all three are green, you can start recording. Calm, simple, and easy to use with one hand.
