About one-third of persons over 65 are subject to at least one fall during a year, and many of them are subjected to health, psychological and financial consequences. A requirement to improve the effectiveness of preventive interventions is to timely identify subjects at higher risk. In this work we introduce the Farseeing Fall Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT-up), a software tool for evaluating the fall risk of a subject, based on known risk factors. The tool is based on probabilistic rules, generated automatically from a light ontology capturing the scientific findings about risk factors. FRAT-up has been tested on the InCHIANTI dataset, showing performances comparable with state-of-the-art tools.

Abstract
About one-third of persons over 65 are subject to at least one fall during a year, and many of them are subjected to health, psychological and financial consequences. A requirement to improve the effectiveness of preventive interventions is to timely identify subjects at higher risk. In this work we introduce the Farseeing Fall Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT-up), a software tool for evaluating the fall risk of a subject, based on known risk factors. The tool is based on probabilistic rules, generated automatically from a light ontology capturing the scientific findings about risk factors. FRAT-up has been tested on the InCHIANTI dataset, showing performances comparable with state-of-the-art tools.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
