Summary
This study aimed to see if a fall detection device (Vigi'Fall®) improves outcomes for people over 75 who live alone and have fallen before. Researchers planned to compare two groups—one with the device and one without—over 6 months, tracking deaths, hospital visits, and whether they could stay at home. The study was stopped early and only enrolled 33 people, so results are limited.
