Assessment of functional mobility & balance for prevention in frail or elderly individuals
GaiTwin®: the digital twin for gait analysis and functional mobility assessment
GaiTwin® is an innovative, patented, award-winning solution that assesses the functional mobility and balance in a reliable and simple manner, without the need for qualified personnel, in just 15 seconds. It creates a digital twin of a person’s gait (walking pattern), a “Gait Twin”, from data collected by a sensor positioned on the lower back, worn on a belt. The sensor is connected to a mobile application, powered by AI and hosted in a secure cloud, certified for healthcare data hosting.
The solution is the result of cutting-edge research, based in particular on a prospective longitudinal study carried out for 4 years, and on numerous scientific publications.
GaiTwin displays measured gait parameters and a functional mobility score. If necessary, this allows the person concerned to provide objective data and discussion items to healthcare professionals.
The solution analyzes the quality of movement for healthcare personnel and makes rehabilitation fun, thereby promoting autonomy and objectively measuring progress.
⚠ GaiTwin does not provide diagnostic, provide automated clinical interpretation, recommend therapeutic action, replace clinical assessment by a healthcare professional, and should not be used to make medical decisions.
This is because falls are multifactorial and can be caused by inner ear disorders (vertigo), vision problems, medications (side effects), muscle loss (sarcopenia), cognitive deficits (early Alzheimer’s, dementia), malnutrition, neurological diseases (Parkinson’s, stroke), and many other factors.
For any medical questions, consult a qualified healthcare professional (general practitioner, geriatrician, neurologist, physical therapist, teacher of adapted physical activity, etc. in a medical setting).
A miniature sensor collects gait data and feeds it to a mobile application that displays the measured gait parameters, with reference thresholds, providing a functional mobility & balance score.
Simple mobility assessment
Rapid, on-demand objectification of the walk (15 sec.), without the intervention of qualified personnel.
Reliable measurements
Powerful walk metrics and markers.
Gamified walk rehabilitation
Analyzes movement quality for healthcare staff and makes rehabilitation fun, thereby strengthening autonomy and objectively measuring progress..
Data protection
Management of information and personal data in a secure cloud, certified HDS (Health Data Hosting).

Falls in the U.S.
The importance fall prevention
Falls among elderly people create enormous societal challenges:
- Every 11 seconds, an elderly person is treated in an emergency room following a fall
- Every 19 minutes, a senior dies from a fall-related injury
These falls not only threaten the health and independence of seniors, but also create a huge financial pressure on health systems, amplified by the arrival of a large generation of old baby boomers.
