Instant Care Fall Sensor

As the U.S. senior population continues to grow the problem of accidental falls has increased as well. Beyond the initial injuries these falls can have additional devastating consequences. Seniors can suffer life threatening medical problems from lying disoriented or unconscious for potentially days on end. Conditions such as dehydration or hypothermia can lead to death.

The Instant Care Fall Sensor offers all the benefits of our IC2020 system. The fall sensor includes an emergency button that allows a person to render help at any time. However, in the case of a fall, the Instant Care Fall Sensor can automatically place a call for help.

The staggering statistics behind senior falls

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
• One out of three adults age 65 and older falls each year but less than half talk to their healthcare providers about it.

• Among older adults (those 65 or older), falls are the leading cause of injury death. They are also the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma.

• In 2008, over 19,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries.

• The death rates from falls among older men and women have risen sharply over the past decade.

• In 2009, 2.2 million nonfatal fall injuries among older adults were treated in emergency departments and more than 581,000 of these patients were hospitalized.

• In 2000, direct medical costs of falls totaled a little over $19 billion—$179 million for fatal falls and $19 billion for nonfatal fall injuries. This equals $28.2 billion in 2010 dollars.
