Using technology towards effective self-management of fall risk in older adults
Description: Our society’s population is ageing rapidly. Accidental falls are a major contributor to the burden of disease in older people and a major public health problem. In my research program, I use technology to find feasible solutions to deliver complex tailored interventions to prevent falls and support healthy ageing through self-management. My approach has potential to have major, lasting public health benefits by reducing falls and advancing healthy ageing at a low cost for the health care sector.
