Research Projects: Assessment of Fall Risk: Targeted Assessment and Recruitment of Geriatrics for Effective fall prevention Treatments (TARGET) & Steps to Avoid Falls in the Elderly- A TECHnology Enhanced Intervention (SAFE-TECH)

Project Overview

Both TARGET & SAFE-TECH are funded by National Research Foundation and in collaboration with ETH Zurich on early detection of health risks and prevention.

1. The primary goal of TARGET is to segment the population into different fall and fracture risk levels using a novel risk assessment tool which assesses each individual’s neurological and functional ability.  By synergising novel wearable technology ZurichMOVE with the state-of-art machine/deep learning/statistical modelling approaches we will provide personalized assessment of fall risk in an ecologically valid manner.
2. The primary goal of SAFE-TECH is to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of a technology-enhanced, multi-domain, multi-component falls prevention intervention among community dwelling older adults with an elevated fall risk. The novel health technologies, ZurichMOVE was used to detect individual falls risk factors, and identified risk factors were used to tailor the components of the intervention. SAFE-TECH is a tailored and progressive programme, which includes exercise and education components.
