Falls in over-65's are considered by many to be a consequence of ageing. They are not, but falling, even once, creates a circle of frailty, leading the faller directly to loss of confidence, loss of mobility and loss of independence. We are a consortium of three SMEs, one charity, one social care organisation, a public body and an academic institution. Together, we are a value chain of provision of care to older people, using technology to provide services in an effective and cost effective way. The project: * demonstrates and evaluates the impact of a short term fixed length, high technology intervention to reduce the risk of falls and improve wellbeing for over 65s who have already suffered 2 falls or more. * tests additional interventions designed to delay the onset of falls in people that have never fallen and those that have only fallen once. * Designs and applying behaviour change techniques to create new habits of regular activity in participants. We will establish the business case for commercial service roll out, and perform an economic analysis and programme evaluation to determine the economic and qualitative value it offers to public health and to the users themselves. Post project-completion, the service will be rolled out as a public service through the five Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Trust and will be supported by the Trusts and Age NI.
