    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for assessing walking steadiness of a mobile device user. In some embodiments, a method comprises: obtaining, with at least one processor of a mobile device, one or more mobility metrics indicative of a user's mobility, the mobility metrics obtained at least in part from a time series of sensor data output by at least one sensor of the mobile device; evaluating, with the at least one processor, the one or more mobility metrics over one or more specified time periods to derive one or more longitudinal features indicative of variability of the user's gait; and generating, with the at least one processor, at least one walking steadiness indicator for the user based on one or more walking steadiness component models and the one or more longitudinal features. Also disclosed are embodiments for training the component models.

    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a biomechanical trigger for improved responsiveness in grade estimation. In some embodiments, a method comprises: A method comprises: obtaining, from a wearable device worn by a user, cadence data, speed data and elevation data; determining a grade of a surface on which the user is traveling based on a ratio of a change in elevation based on the elevation data and a change in speed data; determining that the grade satisfies a first condition indicative of a horizontal speed compensation by the user at a grade onset; determining that the grade satisfies a second condition indicative of a rapid elevation increase or decrease at a grade onset; and confirming that the grade is a valid estimate based on either the first condition or the second condition being satisfied.
