When Floors Become Clinical Sensors: A New Frontier in Neurology

At the International Conference on Neurology and Neuroscience 2026, an innovative in-person oral presentation will spotlight how large-area capacitive sensor flooring is reshaping neurological assessment, elderly care, and rehabilitation monitoring. Delivered by Dr. Axel Steinhage, Co-Founder and CTO of Future-Shape GmbH, this talk bridges AI, neuroinformatics, and real-world clinical practice.

Title: Analysing human behaviour and health by means of a large-area capacitive sensor floor


🔍 What Makes This Research Stand Out?

🧠 Continuous Behavioral Intelligence

  • Floors embedded with high-resolution sensors collect real-time data on movement, speed, direction, and location
  • Enables uninterrupted monitoring without wearables or cameras
  • Captures authentic behavior during daily routines

🚨 Safety, Monitoring & Emergency Detection

  • Automatic recognition of falls, immobility, and abnormal nighttime activity
  • Especially valuable in nursing homes, geriatric wards, and acute care units
  • Enhances patient safety while reducing staff burden

🚶 Gait Patterns as Digital Biomarkers

  • Detailed gait analysis reveals early signs of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders
  • Supports early diagnosis and preventive intervention
  • Longitudinal data helps track disease progression and rehabilitation success

🤖 AI Beyond Human Observation

  • Advanced AI algorithms extract subtle movement features invisible to the naked eye
  • Research suggests gait can indicate age, gender, and potentially individual identity within defined groups
  • Opens new pathways for personalized neurology and precision medicine

🏥 Proven in Real Clinical Environments

  • Successfully implemented in hospitals and long-term care facilities worldwide
  • Validated through multiple studies where medical conditions were correlated with gait signatures
  • Demonstrates scalability and real-world reliability

🌐 Research with Global Impact

This work builds on decades of interdisciplinary research and collaborations with leading European universities, combining sensor technology, robotics, AI, and ambient assisted living to support healthier aging and smarter healthcare systems.


🔮 Why This Matters for Neurology & Neuroscience

  • Introduces a non-invasive, passive diagnostic tool
  • Supports data-driven clinical decision-making
  • Redefines how environments themselves can become active participants in healthcare
