<p>Care providers to older adults, whether they are professionally trained or friends and family, know that older adults want to live independently with dignity and quality of life. &nbsp;Falls are a big problem, causing injury and loss of independence as well as disrupting health and quality of life. &nbsp;Equilibrium allows you to easily monitor, measure and score fall risk, giving an early indication of risk as well as a way to determine change in physical status. &nbsp;</p> <p>For non-professional carers, Equilibrium can alert that you need to bring in professional help such as a physical therapist. &nbsp;For professional carers, the last thing you want is for a fall to happen to your care recipient. &nbsp;Equilibrium will let you measure and determine the best course of preventative action as well as provide a documentation of objective outcome measures that are Medicare compliant.</p>

<p>Hospital acquired injuries from falls and readmissions to hospital due to falls and related injuries represent a huge burden to hospitals and their patients.  With Equilibrium, hospitals can stratify fall risk at admission and monitor during hospital stay in order to minimize and mitigate this risk.  At discharge, use Equilibrium to determine the best follow up - whether it's referral to home health or rehab or whether the person is ready to go home independently.  Hospitals can also use Equilibrium for community outreach and patient engagement as a way to communicate the serious risk of this huge health epidemic.</p> <p>Falls and fear of falls are a problem that plagues 1 in 3 people 65 years and older and 1 in 2 people 75 years and older.  Falls are the leading cause of injury related death in older adults and can lead to injury, social isolation, depression, lack of independence, hip fracture and sadly, even death.  Many who fear falling limit their activity and engagement in enjoyable activities leading to loss of strength and balance - ironically, these are the two main reasons people have falls.</p> <p>The good news is that many falls can be prevented - as many as half of falls could be avoided with simple precautions. But, the first step is recognizing a problem may exist.</p> <p>The Equilibrium(TM) smartphone app is a simple way to determine fall risk.  The user simply holds the phone against their body or puts it in their pocket and performs a series of movements such as walking across a room and getting up and down from a chair.  Our system does the rest - your results are analyzed in our secure cloud and then sent to your phone. </p>
