Injuries from falls and similar accidents are the number one reason older people are taken to emergency hospital departments, often resulting in a loss of confidence and independence.
Taking Care Prevent helps you address this risk by monitoring your health and activity levels.
Our Prevention Team will be alerted of high-risk factors and proactively recommend actions to improve strength and balance, reducing frailty and the risk of falling.
Taking Care Prevent combines activity tracking from a Fitbit smartwatch with one-to-one guidance and advice to reduce frailty and the risk of falls.
Manage health and activity to remain independent and safe for longer
By taking action today, you can reduce frailty and support your mobility and independence.
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.
We've supported over ¼ million people and their families with personal alarms.
