FallTrail
Finally answer “how many falls this year, and what was happening each time?”
A 20-second diary for falls and the near-falls a smartwatch never sees: room, activity, injury, dizziness, footwear. It charts where and when they cluster, keeps a room-by-room home-hazard checklist, and builds a STEADI-style report for the PT. Free, no account, no monitoring fees.

What you can do in FallTrail on the web
20-second guided entry
Fall or near-fall, then all taps: room, what they were doing, injury, whether dizziness came first, what was on their feet, and a note.
Near-falls are first-class
The stumbles and grabs for the counter are the early warnings clinicians ask about, and no watch records them — FallTrail counts them alongside real falls.
Pattern dashboard
Events by room, by morning/afternoon/evening/night, a six-month frequency chart, and the falls-to-near-falls split, plus injury, dizziness and footwear counts.
Room-by-room hazard checklist
The classic culprits in seven rooms — loose rugs, night lighting, grab bars, handrails, clutter and cords — with a progress ring per room and notes on what a fix will cost.
Balance homework streak
Log the sit-to-stands, heel-toe walks, single-leg stands and tai chi a PT assigned, and keep a gentle streak with weekly minutes and a twelve-week heatmap.
STEADI-style report
Pick the person, the range and the sections, then copy or download a clean fall-history summary — totals, every event with circumstances, pattern highlights, hazard status and exercise.
One person or several
Both parents, a grandparent, yourself — each gets their own diary, checklist, balance log and report, switchable from the home screen.
