Clinicians @ HLTH Series: Physicians of the Future: The Evolving Doctor Persona In an Era of Innovation

About this Session:

America's healthcare system spends more on fall-related injuries than cancer treatment annually, yet toe weakness, the strongest predictor of falls, barely registers on medical radar screens. This "invisible epidemic" is receiving some positive change, with wearables and smart home sensors acting as digital bodyguards that can predict a fall before it happens, while targeted rehabilitation programs focus on strengthening aging legs and restoring balance. Value-based care models are catching on, with Medicare's STAR ratings rewarding health systems that keep patients upright rather than just patching them up post-fall. Agile startups are bringing digital fall prevention directly into living rooms, while health systems prepare to deploy innovations in everything from impact-absorbing flooring to motion-detecting lighting that turns hallways into safety corridors. But perhaps the biggest obstacle isn't technological, it's the stubborn social stigma that prevents older adults from admitting their balance isn't what it used to be, creating a dangerous silence between patients and physicians about fall risk. The difference between aging gracefully and aging grudgingly might just come down to whether we can keep our feet under us.
