TeleRehaB aims for developing an AI-based Decision Support System, building upon/expanding on previously developed platforms, tools, obtained results and know-how (i.e., HOLOBALANCE, SMART BEAR projects), to support effective and affordable treatment for patients at risk of fall for both in clinic and remote home-based care.In an increasingly ageing population, falls are a rising epidemic that account for most (58%) emergency department attendances in over 65s and will cost Europe over 45 billion euros by 2050 (Eurosafe, 2015). Falls are a syndemia that coexists with multiple comorbidities in older adults, such as cardiovascular disease, mood and cognitive disorders that increase the risk of serious falls injuries in older adults and that affect the intervention outcomes. Multimodal, multifaceted falls prevention programmes targeting specific needs of high-risk individuals are thus of essence.
