 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to further develop, field test, and commercialize a reliable and robust sensor technology that allows the objective assessment of daily physical activity, risk of falling, frailty, and activity organization among older adults in he home and community. This is a Phase IIB STTR application. During Phases I&II BioSensics, LLC, in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Consortium on Advanced Motion Performance and the Arizona Center on Aging at the University of Arizona, developed and clinically validated sophisticated signal processing algorithms and associated sensor hardware to monitor physical activity and falls in older adults using a single motion sensor (tri-axial accelerometer) worn on the torso or as a pendant. Our Phase I/II work resulted in two commercially available products. PAMSys(tm) is a wearable sensor platform for long-term monitoring of activity related parameters that are of significant importance for objective assessment of physical activity, functioning, frailty, and fall risk of older adults. PAMSys(tm) is primarily a research tool with broad applicatons in pharmaceutical clinical trials and other comparative outcomes clinical research. ActivePERS(tm) is a low-cost medical alert pendant with automatic fall detection, activity monitoring, and non-compliance alerts. ActivePERS(tm) is a consumer product that has been commercialized through 9 on-going partnerships with companies in the telehealth and medical alert markets. With this Phase IIB project we propose to improve our ActivePERS(tm) technology to enable long-term remote monitoring of fall risk and frailty status. An objective method for earl diagnosis, intervention and remote monitoring of the risk of falling/frailty using physical activit telemonitoring and feedback has not yet been developed. Such technology could be used to identify patterns indicative of early changes allowing early diagnosis and intervention of at-risk elders. In addition, it will enable remote and continuous screening of the risk of falling/frailty during daily life, supporting autonomy and quality of life, and limiting the need for clinical intervention. Moreover, the technology can provide an objective tool to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation on motor function, and hence on reductions in the risk of falling/frailty based on te relative efficacy of different interventions. There is a significant commercialization potential fo the proposed technology due to 1) the size of the market, 2) the disruptive nature of our first-to-market technology, and 3) the ongoing national push towards increased efforts towards fall prevention. We will have a market-ready device by the completion of this project with plans for a market launch during Phase III.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：我们建议进一步开发，现场测试和商业化可靠，强大的传感器技术，该技术可以客观评估HE HE HE HE HE HE HIM和社区老年人的日常体育锻炼，跌倒，脆弱和活动组织的风险。这是IIB阶段STTR应用程序。 During Phases I&II BioSensics, LLC, in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Consortium on Advanced Motion Performance and the Arizona Center on Aging at the University of Arizona, developed and clinically validated sophisticated signal processing algorithms and associated sensor hardware to monitor physical activity and falls in older adults using a single motion sensor (tri-axial accelerometer) worn on the torso or as a pendant.我们的I/II阶段工作产生了两种商用产品。 PAMSYS（TM）是一个可穿戴的传感器平台，用于长期监测与活动相关的参数，这对于对体育活动，功能，脆弱和老年人风险的客观评估至关重要。 PAMSYS（TM）是主要的研究工具，在药物临床试验和其他比较结果临床研究中具有广泛的应用。 ActivePers（TM）是一种低成本的医疗警报吊坠，具有自动秋季检测，活动监控和不合规警报。 ActivePers（TM）是一种消费产品，通过与远程医疗和医疗警报市场中的公司建立了9种持续的合作伙伴关系。通过此阶段IIB项目，我们建议改善我们的活跃器（TM）技术，以实现对跌倒风险和脆弱状态的长期远程监控。尚未开发出一种客观的诊断，干预和远程监测使用体育锻炼和反馈的跌落/脆弱风险的客观方法。这种技术可用于确定指示早期变化的模式，可以早期诊断和干预高危老年人。此外，它将能够远程持续筛选日常生活中跌倒/脆弱的风险，支持自主权和生活质量，并限制临床干预的需求。此外，该技术可以提供一个客观的工具来评估康复对运动功能的影响，从而根据不同干预措施的相对效率而降低跌倒/脆弱的风险。由于1）市场规模，2）我们第一到市场技术的破坏性，以及3）持续的全国努力朝着预防跌落的努力，因此具有巨大的商业化潜力。通过完成该项目，我们将拥有一台可准备的设备，并在第三阶段期间发布市场推出的计划。
