Can a wearable alarm save seniors after a fall?

NCT ID NCT01422252

Summary

This study tested whether a wearable fall detection device helps seniors get help faster after a fall at home. Researchers compared 200 people over 75, with half wearing the alert device and half not, to see if it improved recovery or reduced hospital time. The goal was to learn if such devices are useful for preventing serious complications in older adults who fall.
