A system is provided for monitoring gait characteristics of a group of enrollees in a monitoring region of a public area. The system 10 includes an identifying device 16 to enroll the group of enrollees 11 into the system by measuring identifying information. The system further includes a gait monitoring device 22 to measure a sample gait characteristic during an enrollment phase, and to measure a gait characteristic of each enrollee subsequent to the enrollment phase. The system further includes an alerting device 28 to receive an alert signal from the gait monitoring device, when the measured gait characteristic of a respective enrollee exceeds a safety threshold. The system further includes a display device 30 to issue a trend report of the measured gait characteristic of a selectable enrollee for a selectable time period. Facial recognition may be used for identifying the enrollee entering the monitoring region of a public area such as a hallway of a senior assisted living facility and trend reports may be utilized to forecast oncoming risk of falling. |
