Frailty in Older Adults: Why It Matters
Frailty is more than just weakness. It’s a condition that increases vulnerability to falls, hospitalization, and loss of independence.
Older adults living with frailty are at higher risk of injury, longer recovery times, and reduced mobility — all of which can impact quality of life.
Frailty also places a heavy burden on healthcare systems, with higher costs and frequent hospital visits. By recognizing frailty early, we can take steps to prevent falls, improve recovery, and help older adults stay active and independent for longer.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT
Wearable Technology for Frailty Detection
An ankle-worn wearable that tracks gait and heart rate recovery can help detect frailty and fall risk. Early results showed strong agreement with standard tests, highlighting its potential as a practical screening tool for older adults, with further validation needed.
