Interventions

• The Fall Prevention Pathway (FPP) — BEHAVIORAL
  The Fall Prevention Pathway (FPP) is a digital progression of exercises \& patient education delivered through a web platform designed to improve balance, boost confidence, and reduce fall risk. The FPP enrolls participants in a Medbridge Pathway and provides remote monitoring by a clinician who personalizes programs and provides verbal education to help reduce fall risk.

Study Details

Falls are a leading cause of injury and loss of independence in older adults, with evidence supporting exercise-based interventions and remote monitoring as effective strategies for reducing fall risk. However, adherence and engagement with such programs remain significant challenges. This study builds on prior research demonstrating the feasibility of digital health interventions in rehabilitation and extends it to a structured, remotely monitored Fall Prevention Pathway (FPP). Preliminary work in digital rehabilitation has shown positive engagement and clinical outcomes, supporting the need for further exploration of feasibility, adherence, and cost implications of remotely monitored fall prevention programs.

Arms

• Experimental: The Fall Prevention Pathway (FPP)
  Participants will be enrolled in an 8-week FPP intervention program. After completion of the 8-week FPP intervention, participants will undergo long-term follow-up assessments at 13 weeks (3 months) and 26 weeks (6 months) post-intervention. The follow-up assessments aim to assess sustained engagement, adherence, clinical outcomes, and fall incidence.

Primary Outcome Measure

Adherence to program [ Time Frame: At the end of the intervention (8 weeks) ]
