Summary

This study tests a mobile app called CatchU that measures how well older adults combine information from their senses (like sight and touch) to predict their risk of falling. Researchers will follow 84 adults aged 65 and older for two years to see if the app can identify those at higher risk. The goal is to help doctors and seniors prevent falls and maintain independence.
