1 in 4 Older Adults Falls Each Year, Driving 3M ER Visits and $50B in Costs
The post–Labor Day vibe brings a familiar reset of routines, check-ins, and a gentle nudge back toward better habits. But, for adults aged 65 and up, this shift isn’t just about planning fall walks or swapping out flip-flops - it’s a crucial moment for health stability.
Among older adults, 1 in 4 falls each year, and these accidents trigger over 3 million emergency visits and nearly 1 million hospital stays annually.
Fall risks tend to climb when our days shorten, temps drop, and mobility or balance may wane. Coupled with reduced sunlight, many seniors also face a rise in seasonal fatigue or low mood, making the season’s return even more impactful.
At Vironix Health, we believe getting back on track shouldn’t mean worry. Our remote patient monitoring tools keep care teams in close watch, so patients can ease into fall with confidence.
Alerts for changes in vitals, activity, or behavior help catch early warning signs before they turn serious, letting patients enjoy their days, while we’ve got their health covered.
