Fall prevention:
Rising to the challenge
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries in Americans age 65
and older.1
Statistics show that this public health problem is not being adequately addressed
by standard interventions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
estimates that an older American falls every second.2 And older adults are dying
from fall-related injuries at nearly twice the rate they were 20 years ago.
If you would like to learn more about Hinge Health is an exercise Then this white-paper is for you:
- Enterprises have been moving to hybrid cloud environments for years, whether for cost savings,
data sovereignty, or geographic reasons.
- Falling is certainly not a new issue, but it’s becoming ever more urgent as
the number of older adults in the U.S. rapidly increases. Many are calling this
population shift the “Gray Tsunami” because of the substantial impact it’s set
to have on the healthcare system and the economy.
- In reviewing CDC fall statistics and U.S. Census Bureau projections, researchers
predict that ED visits due to falls among older adults could hit 5.7 million by
2030. Fatal falls could hit 100,000 per year.
