What’s different about the Falls Risk Index?

The Falls Risk Index research combined over 400 different factors that influence risk into 40 measurable data points which produce a single likelihood score supported by a confidence score. Following years of extensive research by Anthropos with support from medical practitioners, the MHRA registered falls risk engine support single point in time assessments for an individual or population cohort or can form part of a regular monitoring service to consistently monitor falls likelihood over time.

The Index can build a baseline score based on the kinds of data that are commonly found in health and social care records, meaning that no technology needs to be deployed to get an initial assessment.
