Expanding the Design Space for Fall Prevention in Acute Orthopedic Hospital Care: Human-Centered Design Study

The view on technology-based in-hospital fall prevention can be broadened not only to mainly include monitoring and alarm systems, information systems in general, or computer-based information in particular systems but also to support activities performed by health personnel that engage patients in fall prevention. For example, tools such as these can be implemented in training involving daily activities and mobility within safe yet more homelike clinical contexts.
