Fall risk assessments in a home are important to co-medical staff when patients discharge from a hospital. The purpose of this research is to propose a simple and easy way of measuring and visualizing the fall risk. As the first step, we collected motion data using an IMU sensor suit and a foot sensor. We showed the time point when the margin of stability (MoS) of the participant is less than 5 cm. Experiments are conducted under conditions in which a participant moves putting an age simulation suit or as usual in a living lab / in a vacation rental. Results showed the usability of this system in the point of enabling us to compare the risky place at home visually.
