As Singapore’s population ages, preventing falls among older adults is becoming increasingly important. But what if artificial intelligence could help identify someone’s risk of falling before an accident even happens?

A research team at Republic Polytechnic is developing an AI system to analyse older adults’ movement, balance, reaction time and cognitive function, then build an individual fall-risk profile.

On AI & Me, Lynlee Foo speaks to Aaron Chen, Lead Specialist (AI) at Republic Polytechnic and Creator of Fallsafe+, to look at how the system works and whether AI can truly help prevent falls among older adults.
