Elderly Fall Risk Checker

3.50

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Menopause and chronic disease combined management

→

Step 2 Increased dizziness from medication side effects during chronic disease management

→

Step 3 No tool to proactively prevent the dizziness → fall → fracture → bed rest chain

Problem

Adult children in their 50s worry about fall risks for their parents (75+), but risk factors span Medical, environmental, and medication domains — orthostatic hypotension from blood pressure medication, fracture risk from osteoporosis, and slippery bathroom floors or door thresholds at home. A post-fall hip fracture can cost $3,750-$7,500 in surgery fees plus 3-6 months of bed rest.

Solution

Users enter their parent's medication list, chronic conditions, living environment details (floor level, thresholds, bathroom grab bars), and recent dizziness frequency on a web interface. The system calculates a fall risk score (High/Medium/Low) and provides prioritized improvement actions per risk factor: medication timing adjustments, a home environment improvement checklist, and links to balance exercise videos.

Target: Aged 48-58, caring for parents 75+, parent has experienced dizziness or unsteadiness in the past 6 months, interested in fall prevention but unsure where to start

Revenue Model: Basic risk assessment is free. Customized improvement plan + home environment guide (with photo examples) + PDF: ~$3.75 per transaction. Referral commission for assistive device vendor connections.
