Artificial Intelligence Assisted Mobility Device Development

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is rapidly gaining attention in the world for assisting humans with tasks that they could not achieve otherwise. In the medical industry specifically, artificial intelligence has made it possible to almost connect the original human body with another perfected body. This paper is intended to summarize the different conditions that may lead to someone needing a mobility device in the first place, what companies have preexisting parts that we can repurpose for the ideal artificial intelligence assisted mobility device, and the different AI technology that we can use to build this machine. 

The main methods utilized to collect the data used in this paper were collecting research from various scientific journals on the different conditions that can lead to the need for a mobility device, data collected from medical technology companies, and research on different artificial intelligence tools. Combining these pieces of research from different scientific journals and technological sources, it was found that the leading causes of falls are a result of cognitive impairment and balance-related issues. It was also concluded that the main pieces of equipment, are already present and would need to be manufactured in a way that the elderly user could use it on a daily basis. The overall research concluded to find that the artificial intelligence device would need to be flexible, durable, and greatest of all, prevent the user from falling or alarm a medical professional that someone is at risk of falling.
