Health in Motion- A Pragmatic Clinical Trial- Home

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Aging

In brief

Falls among older adults are a serious public health concern and injuries resulting from falls can cause significant loss of independence, premature death, and higher caregiver burden. Home-based fall prevention programs, such as the Otago Exercise Program, educate older adults about the importance of identifying fall risk and provide strategies for reducing fall risk; however, many are costly and are not scalable, accessible, or sustainable. This project will evaluate the use of a digital solution that translates evidence-based fall prevention programs (such as Otago Exercise Program and Matter of Balance) to a digital solution (Health in Motion Fall Prevention Platform), as an alternative to home-based fall prevention programs that is affordable, scales to the millions of older adults across the country at risk for falls and is sustainable for the older adult's life.
