Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for more accurate remote monitoring of a user's body to stabilize the user during fall events and to thereby prevent the user from falling. In some embodiments, a wearable device comprising a power source, one or more sensors configured to monitor a user's COG (COG), at least one plurality of electrodes, a communications interface and a control device is provided. The wearable device is configured to apply electrical pulses according to defined electrical pulse stimulation protocols via the electrodes to target muscle groups of the user's body, causing those target muscle groups to contract and thereby stabilize the user's body during a fall event.
