Abstract (Deutsch)

Injurious falling leads to #25 billion in health care costs in Europe (30% of Swiss above 65 years fall annually). By using stochastic resonance (SR) via a hearable to enhance balance, this project introduces a groundbreaking therapy over a wearable for preventing injurious falls in the elderly.
