Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A risk of fall detection system comprising:
a wearable monitoring group configured to acquire posture data related to a posture of a user, the wearable monitoring group comprising:
a first sensor configured to be attached to a lower part of a user's torso and to detect a position of the lower part of the user's torso;
a second sensor configured to be attached to an upper part of the user's torso and to detect a position of the upper part of the user's torso;
a third sensor configured to be attached to a user's lower limb and to detect a position of the user's lower limb;
a processing module in signal communication with the wearable monitoring group to receive the posture data, the processing module being configured to process the posture data and compute a risk of fall indicator parameter from relative positions of the lower part of user's torso, upper part of user's torso, and the user's lower limb detected by the first sensor, second sensor, and third sensor, respectively; and
biofeedback elements configured to provide a feedback signal to the user in a direction of a probable fall upon the risk of fall indicator parameter exceeding a threshold level.
