Ear-wearable devices for fall prevention using vibration sensory input

This is an ear-worn device that can help reduce fall risk. It has a touch sensor on its outer surface and a vibration generator also on its outer surface. When the device detects that it has been touched, it responds by vibrating.

Why it matters: The claims describe a generic haptic feedback system for an ear device. They do not detail how touch-activated vibration specifically prevents falls, leaving the core fall prevention mechanism undefined.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateMiniature electronics, custom housing, vibration motor.
