A community health approach to promoting adherence to in-home fall prevention interventions and promoting independence in seniors
Insights from interviews with an older adult who has fallen and clinicians to support the development of a long-term, sustainable solution.
Hi Nesibo! this is a very neat idea! I think it would be great for us to collaborate since I proposed something along fostering collaboration between teenagers and seniors as well (https://challenges.openideo.com/challenge/fall-prevention/ideas/teens-seniors-a-community-health-approach-to-close-gaps-in-current-fall-prevention-strategies). Look forward to chatting more with you and partnering!
That's a fantastic idea Susan Jackewicz ! I think something like that has the potential to engage and motivate both generations, and the goal-driven aspect can help promote adherence further. Definitely would like to chat more about this. I know we're at the end of the ideation phase, but how do we team up together? Is it possible for me to just add you to my team and that way we can connect our ideas?
