What FallTrail does

One in four adults over 65 falls every year, and after every fall the same question comes from the ER doctor, the physical therapist, and the Medicare wellness visit: how many falls this year, and what was happening each time? For most families the honest answer lives on a sticky note on the fridge — if it lives anywhere at all. FallTrail is a 20-second fall and near-fall diary built for exactly that question. When something happens, open the app and tap through what matters: fall or near-fall, which room, what they were doing, any injury, dizziness beforehand, what was on their feet. That's it. Months later, when the physical therapist asks about circumstances, the answer is on your phone instead of in anyone's memory. Near-falls are the part every other tool misses. A smartwatch only registers hard-impact falls while it is worn, and captures zero context. But the stumbles and grabs for the counter are the early warnings clinicians actually ask about — FallTrail treats them as first-class entries. Log a handful of events and FallTrail shows the shape of the problem: falls clustering in the bathroom, near-falls mostly at night, a frequency trend that is easier to discuss as a chart than a feeling. Before an appointment, generate a clean, STEADI-style fall-history report — dates, circumstances, injuries, patterns — formatted to hand to a clinician, so intake starts from facts. FallTrail also includes a room-by-room home-hazard checklist covering the classic culprits: loose rugs, poor lighting, missing grab bars, clutter. Work through it one room at a time and track what is fixed. Track one person or several — both parents, a grandparent, yourself. Everything stays on the device: no account, no monitoring service, no monthly fee. FallTrail is a record book, not a medical device — it never predicts risk or offers a diagnosis. It just makes sure that when a clinician asks about fall history, somebody finally has the answer. • 20-second logging for falls and near-falls with room, activity, injury, dizziness, and footwear • Pattern view showing time-of-day and location clusters plus frequency trends • STEADI-style fall-history report to hand to a physical therapist or doctor • Room-by-room home-hazard checklist with progress tracking • Multiple profiles for tracking more than one person • Photo notes for hazards and injuries • Balance-exercise streak tracking for prevention homework • Fully offline — no account, no subscription, no monitoring fees
