Redbridge Council is taking part in an 18-month pilot project to reduce falls among elderly residents through assistive technology.

“We are working with suppliers to introduce fall detection and prevention technologies in care homes and residents’ homes,” said a spokesperson.

Of London’s 32 boroughs, Redbridge has the ninth-highest number of ambulance call-outs to care homes for fall-related incidents.
