Is there research to support the effectiveness of Fall Prevention Solution?
Yes. Fall Prevention Solution is one of the new generation of wireless patient monitoring devices, and the first that has ever been proven in clinical trials to help reduce falls in the high-risk elderly. After several thousand patient-days of use, we know of no fall-related injury while wearing Fall Prevention Solution.
