Fall Safety & Prevention

Supporting Fall Safety & Prevention with Digital Health Technologies

Falls are a common concern for older adults, but digital health apps and tools can provide extra support to improve safety, confidence, and independence at home and in the community.

These technologies may include balance and strength exercise programs, movement reminders, posture guidance, and home safety checklists. Some also offer real-time monitoring, alerts for carers or family, and practical tips to reduce risks in daily routines.

Used on their own or alongside professional advice, these evidence-informed tools can help reduce the risk of falls - supporting older adults to stay active, independent, and reassured in everyday life.
