Chain Approach Fall Prevention Elderly

Since January 1, 2023, municipalities are responsible for fall prevention of the 65-plus residents in their municipality.

Municipalities can use Smart Floor in collaboration with neighborhood societies, sports clubs, care aid stores, general practitioner and physiotherapy practices at various locations in the municipality to periodically measure the elderly residents.

If the risk of falling is increased, for example, the physiotherapist can decide to conduct an investigation to find out what to do to prevent a fall incident. This works in favor of the well-being of the elderly. Ultimately, the goal is for people to be able to stay at home longer, healthy and independent.
