Moving About

It is estimated that one in three people aged over 65 is at risk of falling – going up to one in two for those above 80. Falls often have very serious psychological and physical consequences, including a real risk of fatality. Technology allows developing solutions which makes it possible for elderly and disabled with severe injuries to walk and move safely.
