Stay active to reduce frailty and maintain independence with the Taking Care Autumn app. Injuries from falls and similar accidents are the number one reason older people are taken to emergency hospital departments, often resulting in a loss of confidence and independence. Taking Care Autumn helps you address this risk by monitoring your health and activity levels. Taking Care Autumn combines activity tracking from a Fitbit smartwatch with one-to-one guidance and advice to reduce frailty and the risk of falls.
