Zibrio
ZIBRIO provides a fall risk assessment solution for senior living and primary care, leveraging space program technology and machine learning. Their core product, the ZIBRIO Stability Scale, measures weight and balance to generate a stability score indicating fall risk. A score of 1-3 suggests increased risk, while 7 and above indicates good balance. The technology has demonstrated a 74% reduction in falls and identifies 2-5 times more high-risk individuals than current methods. The ZIBRIO device is designed for ease of use, allowing independent use by patients at home or integration into clinical settings. The company aims to establish a new standard of care for fall prevention, offering accurate, reliable data to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs associated with falls.
