Health PEI knows that the impact of a fall goes beyond the consequences of injury and includes psychological distress, fear of falling, and reduction of physical activities \u2013 which increase the risk of future falls. Studies show that most falls are not only predictable but preventable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early identification of fall risk is an important aspect of falls prevention. Prince Edward Island-based Stepscan Technologies offers a solution to determine baseline measures, level of impairment, and potential treatment options. The Stepscan\u00ae System, a pressure-sensitive electronic floor tile device paired with proprietary software, captures and analyzes the patterns of mobility and balance in subjects as they move across the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Health PEI is moving from the standard paper-based surveys, and low-tech functional performance tools to the Stepscan\u00ae System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By replacing standard paper-based surveys and low-tech functional performance tools with the Stepscan\u00ae System, Health PEI is aiming to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduce the assessment time for fall risk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve the quality of fall risk profiles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase proactive care for those at high risk for falls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decrease the incidence of new falls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decrease development of new foot ulcers and DFU hospital admissions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Results from this work will help shape Health PEI\u2019s strategy for the future.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"lazyblock-project-overview-Z29RYEJ wp-block-lazyblock-project-overview\"><div class=\"overview\">\n            <div class=\"overview__header\">Overview<\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-company.png\" alt=\"accompanied photo of lightbulb with gears (A)\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Compagnie<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stepscan.com\/\">Stepscan Technologies Inc.<\/a><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-edge.png\" alt=\"accompanied photo of rubik\u2019s cube (B)\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Edge<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.princeedwardisland.ca\/en\/topic\/health-pei\">Sant\u00e9 \u00ce.-P.-\u00c9.<\/a><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-technology.png\" alt=\"Technology icon\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Type de technologie<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\">Falls risk assessment technology <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-year.png\" alt=\"accompanied photo of clock (C)\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Ann\u00e9e du projet<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\">2022<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-status.png\" alt=\"accompanied photo of graph(D)\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Statut<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\">Termin\u00e9<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accidental falls are an important public health concern among the elderly, even more so with the aging diabetic population.
