CatchU
Fall Risk Assessment
The Problem
According to the CDC, nearly 30% of Americans over the age of 65 experience a fall annually. In fact, over 2 million older Americans require an emergency room visit every year because of fall-related injuries.
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults, resulting in broken bones, head injuries, and loss of independence. Early detection and prevention are critical to maintaining quality of life and reducing healthcare costs.
