    Abstract: Each of a set of wearable sensor bands includes a sensor for collecting movement data. The data is analyzed, from one band or both bands in combination, to determine whether ambulation of the wearer is imminent. The data may be analyzed by a data processor in a band or in a remote computing device. When the data indicates that ambulation is imminent, a control signal is used to provide an intervention to prevent the ambulation, and thereby to avoid a possible fall. The control signal may be transmitted to a band to drive an on-band feedback device to provide an alert to the wearer, or may be transmitted to a feedback device separate from the bands, e.g., a sign or speaker mounted in a hospital, to provide an alert to the wearer or the wearer's caregiver, or may be transmitted to a computing or other device monitored by a caregiver.
