Patent ID: 11141094

Abstract:
A method and system for assessing balance and posture of a subject by employing virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) headgear is provided. The system includes memory, a processor, and the VR/AR headgear, providing an immersive environment. The VR/AR headgear includes a display for providing a plurality of visual stimuli. A gyroscope and an inertial measurement unit detect head movements and body sway of the subject in response to the plurality of visual stimuli. An eye tracking unit tracks eye movement of the subject in response to the plurality of visual stimuli. A base plate with sensors can measure center of gravity of the subject in response to movements of the base plate. A machine learning model then deciphers patterns based on measurement data from the gyroscope, inertial measurement unit, eye tracking unit, and base plate. A comprehensive report pertaining to the subject's posture and balance is then generated.
