September is Fall Prevention Awareness Month

Protect Your Independence with Knowledge and a Little Tech Help

Each year, millions of adults aged 65+ experience falls. While not all result in injury, even a small fall can affect confidence and mobility.

That’s why Fall Prevention Awareness Month is a great time to review small steps that can make a big difference.

At UnaliWear, we build the Kanega Watch to help detect and respond to falls, but we’re also passionate about helping you prevent them.

Why Fall Prevention Matters

• 1 in 4 older adults falls each year
• Falls are the leading cause of injury related ER visits for seniors
• Most falls can be prevented

5 Simple Steps to Help Prevent Falls

1. Keep Moving
   Build balance and strength with walking, tai chi, or chair exercises.
2. Review Your Medications
   Some prescriptions can cause dizziness or drowsiness. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to review your meds.
3. Check Your Vision and Hearing
   Update your glasses and hearing aids regularly to stay aware of your surroundings.
4. Make Your Home Safer

• Remove clutter and rugs
• Add grab bars and handrails
• Use night lights in hallways
• Place non-slip mats in the bathroom

5. Wear a Fall Detection Watch
   Our Kanega Watch was designed to keep you independent and protected with:

• Automatic fall detection
• 24/7 emergency response
• No smartphone or Wi-Fi required
• Voice-activated help

Fall prevention isn’t just about safety, it’s about staying active, confident, and in control of your life.
