Clinical Trial Summary

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.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will involve 2 groups. Both groups will be followed for 12 months. The investigators will use a comparative prospective longitudinal (12-months) observational cohort study to compare the Health in Motion Fall Prevention Program with a no-intervention group. Metrics of effectiveness include the rate of falls, fall risk, fear of falling, and falls efficacy. Economic benefit will be measured using the EQ-5D-5L, along with hospital and clinical visits. The primary outcome is the incidence of falls (rate in person-months). ;
