Google AI researchers have developed a deep learning model capable of accurately estimating advanced walking metrics using data from smartwatches. This model, built on a temporal convolutional network (TCN) architecture, directly predicts spatio-temporal gait metrics like speed, step length, and double support time. A large-scale validation study involving 246 participants demonstrated that smartwatches are a reliable and practical platform for continuous gait analysis, comparable to smartphone-based methods but with greater convenience.
