Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for contributing to the diagnosis of frailty in the elderly people using an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) located at the ankle of the patient in order to obtain measurements of movement. The main objective is to use this information to measure the activity of the user and to recognize certain behaviors such as the amount of movement carried out by the patient between meals, frequency in which certain daily activities are performed, etc. This generated information can be used by the medical staff to determine the patient's frailty state. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposal, some initial experiments have been carried out with a real patient in a geriatric center.
