Falls Assistant: a falls prevention and self management tool specifically designed and created to help prevent falls, keep people steady on their feet and stay as independent as possible. It enables older people, their carers and family members to assess their own risk of falls, and then provides tailored advice that will give them a plan to reduce their future risk of falls and fractures. The Falls Assistant has been developed by NHS24’s Scottish Centre for Telehealth and Telecare (SCTT) as part of the European SmartCare programme.

The Safety Superheroes Program is designed to promote an intergenerational approach to fall prevention. Safety Superheroes was created to help children and families learn how to keep their grandparents and loved ones safe from falls, as preventing falls is something that everyone can help with!
