Michael Rowling, COO, ProtoKinetics explains that measuring and evaluating how someone is walking can be an early predictor for diseases.  He notes that wearables are  limited in their ability to measure differences in those who are slowing down.  Gait mat technology and associated software evaluates gait and balance by directly measuring  footsteps for better diagnosis of such conditions as Parkinson's and stroke and can be used to help prevent falls.
