Our society’s population is ageing rapidly. Accidental falls are a major contributor to the burden of disease in older people and a major public health problem. In my research program, I use technology to find feasible solutions to deliver complex tailored interventions to prevent falls and support healthy ageing through self-management. My approach has potential to have major, lasting public health benefits by reducing falls and advancing healthy ageing at a low cost for the health care sector.

我们社会的人口正在迅速老龄化。意外跌倒是老年人疾病负担的一个主要原因，也是一个重大的公共卫生问题。在我的研究项目中，我利用技术寻找可行的解决方案，提供复杂的定制干预措施，以防止跌倒并通过自我管理支持健康老龄化。我的方法有可能通过减少跌倒和以低成本促进健康老龄化为医疗保健部门带来重大、持久的公共健康益处。
