Can We Predict a Fall Before It Happens? | Episode 4 | Designing for Prevention | Building a Smart Dashboard to Support Safer Aging
Falls are one of the biggest risks to older adults in residential care, but what if we could predict them before they happen? In this episode, we explore the development of a predictive dashboard designed to support caregivers with prescriptive decision-making for fall prevention.
We discuss:
How predictive dashboards work in aged care settings
The role of user-centered design in building real-world tools
Why prescriptive decision support matters for caregivers
How technology can shift care from reactive to proactive
Join us as we look at how smart design and thoughtful tech can create safer environments for aging, one informed decision at a time.
