Taking Care Prevent

How Taking Care Prevent works

Taking Care Prevent uses data gathered from a Fitbit activity tracker to predict your likelihood of a fall.

Our Prevention Team will be automatically alerted of high-risk factors, and draw up a personalised Action Plan to improve your strength, balance, mobility and lifestyle.

Effective and proactive fall prevention through lifestyle choices and changes around the home can make a real difference to quality of life.

Taking Care Prevent customers and their family members can view activity insights in our Prevention app. Automatic email alerts also notify you and your family of changes that may indicate a higher risk of falling.

The use of monitored devices can reduce overall hospital admissions in older adults by 50%, and reduce hospital admissions specifically due to falls by 44%.

Not only can falls result in fractures and sustained injuries, but they can also have a long-term effect on your loved one's confidence, impacting their independence.

• Falls are a major cause of people needing to move from the home they love into care.
• Falls-related hospital admissions among patients over 65 reach nearly a quarter of a million a year in England.
• 4,984 people over 65 died from having a fall in 2016.
• Up to 50% of falls are due to environmental causes and are therefore preventable e.g. poor lighting and slippery floors.
