There are a variety of apps aimed at preventing falls in older adults, which are mainly focused on staying active to maintain strength and balance. Falls become increasingly common and are far more likely to cause injury after the age of 55 years. When a person is less active, they become weaker, and this increases their chances of falling.
Here are a few falls prevention apps reviewed by Healthify
Before choosing an app, think about how it will benefit you and what you want it to be able to do.
- An app will only be helpful if you use it, so it needs to be something you like using and find easy to use.
- If you find the app difficult to use, or you don't like the imagery or look of it, or the language it uses, you may want to find another one that suits you better.
- For more guidance on how to choose health apps, see How to choose a health app.
- It's important to remember that apps don’t replace professional help or your doctor’s advice.
