Prof. Jeffrey M. Hausdorff, Ph.D., and the research team that he   directs study gait, balance, motor control, and brain function, with a   special focus on gait variability, motor-cognitive interactions, and fall   risk in older adults and patients with neurological diseases such as   Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Much of their work involves the   application of signal processing and machine learning approaches to extract   clinically relevant information from wearable devices. Prof. Hausdorff has served   on the board of directors of the International Society of Postural and Gait   Research, as a member of its Strategic Planning Committee, and as a member of   the Movement Disorders Society Task Force on Technology and currently serves   on the board of directors of the International Society for the Measurement of   Physical Behaviour, is a member of the Gait Advisory Committee for the   Michael J. Fox Foundation, is a member of an international task force that is   developing guidelines for the prevention and management of falls in older   adults, and is a member of the International Advisory Committee on Research   Institute for Intelligent Wearable Systems.
