Safe Steps ^Company

Safe Steps is a multi-disciplinary team of carers, clinicians, patients, researchers, designers, data scientists, software engineers, and families to empower an ageing society. The company develops a falls prevention app. It is important because falls are a significant public health problem: an estimated 646,000 people die from a fall each year. Safe Steps is one of four innovative companies selected to help to improve care in the NHS as part of the Greater Manchester Digital Health Accelerator. As part of the program, the company has already engaged with the Greater Manchester and Eastern Cheshire Patient Safety Collaborative and the Falls and Frailty teams within Health Innovation Manchester.
