ACCURATE AMBULATORY GAIT ANALYSIS WITH WEARABLE SENSORS USING TRANSDUCTIVE LEARNING INFERENCE MODELS

The present invention relates to a method for creating an individualized machine learning inference model. In accordance with the invention, the aforementioned method and a related system involve a motion capture device adapted to be worn by a user. The motion capture device is adapted to acquire measurements, which are used to compute a first estimate of one or more gait parameters. Next, a database is accessed that contains previously collected observations of gait data and the first estimate is compared to the previously collected observations of gait data. Finally, the subset of previously collected observations of gait data that is most informative for the particular user is identified and the individualized machine learning inference model can be developed using the identified subset of previously collected observations of gait data.
