Smart fall-monitoring video with telealerts versus alerts alone
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a smart video monitoring system with emergency-style alerts works better than alerts alone for preventing or responding to falls at home. It focuses on older adults who have recently fallen and may find returning home unsafe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a guided digital exercise program done at home can lower fall risk and improve safety for people age 65 and older. You’d likely use a device/app and follow a plan for light-to-moderate activity.
This trial looks at whether using a smartwatch can help older adults who have fallen improve their walking and balance through a home exercise program. The goal is to see if digital assistance makes self-rehabilitation more effective than standard care alone.
This trial tests a fall prevention program for older adults living in the community. It aims to help you learn how to reduce your risk of falling and stay safe on your feet.
This study is testing a program that combines everyday activities (like dressing or cooking) with other measures to reduce falls in older adults. If you're 65+, have fallen recently, and don't have certain health issues, this trial might help you stay safer at home.
This trial compares two ways to do fall-prevention exercises: using a smartphone app or joining a community class. It may help older adults who are at risk of falling improve their balance and strength.
This study follows older adults who came to the emergency department after a simple fall (no serious injury) to understand how well they recover over the next 30 days. It aims to identify factors that might lead to a decline in daily function.
