Accuracy of step counting and fall detection in hearing aids.
What is it about?
Hearing aid technologies have begun to incorporate sensors, which in some devices, permit fitness monitoring and/or fall detection and alerting. These fitness and lifestyle functions are emerging technologies that may have potential to address issues of sedentary lifestyles and safety in the aging adult population.
Why is it important?
The prevalence of sedentary lifestyles, alongside the impacts of falling and hearing loss in older adults, motivates the development of hearables with activity monitoring characteristics.
