Falls are one of the most common safety incidents in hospitals and long-term care. The cost is easy to underestimate because it is spread across many budgets: imaging, extended stays, extra staffing, and sometimes legal claims.
[Add 2 to 3 published Canadian statistics here, each with its source, for example from the Canadian Institute for Health Information or the Public Health Agency of Canada.]
The cost nobody budgets for
The largest cost may be the one that never appears on an invoice. After a fall, many older patients start to fear moving. They walk less, lose strength, and the risk of the next fall goes up.
Speed matters
When a fall is not seen, the time a person spends on the floor matters for recovery. Getting help to them quickly is one of the few parts of the problem that technology can change immediately.
Where Inspikta fits
NeuroFall is designed to alert care teams the moment a fall happens, day or night, without cameras in the room and without asking the patient to wear anything.
