Testing the Effectiveness of a Falls Prevention System
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PUP™ sock for High Risk for Falling. Completed, enrolled 521 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this single arm intervention study is to determine if the fall rate (as measured by falls per 1000 patient days) for patients designated "high fall risk" decreases with the use of the PUP™ \[Patient is UP Falls Prevention System\] when compared to the historical falls rate data for the prior 12 months from those same nursing units within the OSUWM Brain \& Spine Hospital.

Interventions
The Palarum Fall Prevention System that includes the PUP™ (Patient is Up) System, is made upon of seven tangible elements: an inpatient room Android tablet (IRT), a nurse station Android monitor (HUC), a local server (PLS), a cloud server (PCS), a Bluetooth Low Energy beacon(s), an Android smart watch, and an e-textile sock connected sensor transmitter (PUP™ sock). The PUP™ sock monitors and transmits pressure, force, acceleration and motion data.
