WalkerCall

Walker & Cane Compliance Tracking (the 'Left It Behind' Alert)

Research concept for correlated person-and-walker motion; it cannot identify or prove assistive-device use.

Readiness Shared-family mapped

Mapped to a shared offline runtime family and usable with a recording or compatible ESP32 CSI stream.

Evidence Frontier Unvalidated concept

An early research proposal with no capability-specific product validation yet.

Runtime family Fall event

Rapid field-change event followed by low motion, using the shared fall-event state machine.

When no ESP32 is connected

No compatible ESP32 stream is connected. Use the bundled Elderly recording; it demonstrates the shared Fall event runtime, not independent proof of this capability.

Intended capability

Evaluate the sensing evidence for “Walker & Cane Compliance Tracking (the 'Left It Behind' Alert)” in a consented study using staged events and independent reference observations. This is not a care decision, fall prediction, emergency response, or proof of resident safety.

This describes the intended outcome. Readiness is shared-family mapped, evidence is class C, and a catalog mapping or recording is not proof of this outcome at a real site.

Solution blueprint

This exact kit is one of 191 first-class designs. It includes geometry, objects, nodes, wording, scenarios, installation, limitations, and catalog-bound readiness.

Bundled recording

A related Elderly scene

This is one recorded vertical scenario. It is not separate validation of every capability in the catalog.

01 The physics

An aluminum walker is an electrically large metallic scatterer at 2.4/5GHz: it produces strong, geometrically rigid specular returns. When used, its reflection track is spatially locked to the person's RTI track and its micro-Doppler shows the characteristic lift-place or rolling cadence phase-locked to gait; when abandoned, a strong static scatterer persists in the NeRF map at one location while an un-augmented (faster micro-Doppler limb signature, no rigid co-moving return) walking track appears elsewhere.

02 Shared processing path

RFF/NeRF reconstruction identifies and fingerprints the high-sigma metal object -> RTI tracks person and scatterer positions jointly -> co-movement correlation + micro-Doppler cadence coupling classifier -> per-bout compliance score, CUSUM on weekly compliance rate.

This is a capability design path. Components may be shared with other catalog entries; it is not presented as a unique algorithm.

03 Validation plan

Machine-vs-human discrimination already proven (class A) shows rigid-body vs. biological Doppler separation works; own-hardware experiment: scripted walks with/without walker in a furnished room, target >90% bout-level accuracy; cross-check activity segments in OPERAnet.

04 Commercial hypothesis

For rehab/PT directors and fall-committee chairs: 'Your fall-prevention plan says walker, always — we tell you every time they leave it by the bed.'
