California teens win $100,000 scholarship for AI system that predicts fall risk
Two California teenagers, Ruoqi Li and Jason Yang, have developed an AI-powered tool called SafeStrides designed to assess the risk of falls in individuals. The system uses a combination of smartphone camera tracking and wearable sensors to monitor a person's walking patterns in real time. It generates instant risk assessments and provides guidance on improving mobility and making homes safer. The project earned both teens the title of 2026 Davidson Fellows, along with a shared scholarship of $100,000.
