Abstract:
Ageing is associated with an increased risk of falls, which constitute the leading cause of accidental mortality among individuals aged 65 years and older. In response, two innovative regional interventions aim to enhance fall prevention in the home setting: Ma Maison A'Venir, a pedagogical demonstration apartment dedicated to assistive technologies, and Capaidants, a structured physical activity programme supported by a digital platform. These interventions are designed to strengthen the capacities of community-based healthcare professionals, positioning them as key contributors to proactive prevention strategies that promote autonomy and maintain quality of life.
