Fall Prevention: Older Adult Perspectives
The Impact Theme series: Longevity Explorers Discuss.
We started with a very comprehensive curation of material from the web on Fall Prevention. We are now exploring what works and what does not work about existing products people use to help fall-proof their lives.
Hear what Older Adults Think: Fall Prevention
Our Research
Avoid the Perils of Falling
Read the "best of the web" on: Avoiding Falling. Our team of clinicians and citizen analysts has scoured the web for the best available answers to a set of questions designed to help you make falling less likely, and make the consequences if you do fall less bad.
About the Impact Theme Series
Our Longevity Explorers (hundreds of older adults with ages ranging from 60-95 years old) meet regularly to discuss topics at the intersection of aging and technology.
Among the many topics we discuss in these meetings, we have been exploring some specific themes which we think are going to be very important for older adults in the future, and which in our opinion are ripe for innovation. These make up our Impact Themes, and Fall Prevention is one of these themes.
In these discussions:
- We share how we do things today;
- We explore and critique existing products;
- We talk about challenges we have that we wish products could solve; and
- We dream up product concepts we wish someone like you would develop.
If you are developing products or services for older adults in the category of Fall Prevention, listen to the Longevity Explorer discussions on this page to get insights about how to develop better products and services for older adults.
