PACE Southeast Michigan
By using WalkWise data and notifications to better time outreach, PACE
Southeast Michigan demonstrated a 43% reduction in falls over six months among
a pilot population of 15 participants. One therapist noted that the data
allowed for increased communication with participants, resulting in better
information on which to base their interventions. Being able to problem solve
the cause of the fall risk behavior was a key factor in their successful fall
rate reduction. In addition, the emergency detection feature was beneficial to
the PACE Southeast Michigan team. In one
instance, a participant would have been on the floor overnight after a fall had
WalkWise not sent a notification to the program, allowing for paramedics to
arrive within 30 minutes.
