Blue Marble Health is Helping Reduce Falls while Safer at Home


ALTADENA, Calif., April 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Exercise during COVID-19 is challenging, especially for seniors who are encouraged to stay "safer at home". While this reduces the likelihood of catching coronavirus, inactivity will make seniors weaker. The last thing any of us wants is for our loved one to fall and be hospitalized, a place we can no longer visit. 

Blue Marble Health's, Health in Motion app can help seniors stay strong and active, even within the confines of their homes; seniors are safer at home and family has peace of mind during this pandemic.  The research-backed app is designed using CDC STEADI recommendations and contains scientifically proven fall prevention exercise programs. Senior care and wellness professionals should contact Blue Marble at www.bluemarblehealthco.com/contact to get started.

Health in Motion contains scientifically validated tests that seniors can use to determine their fall risk and check their fall risk as often as they wish.

"Health in Motion can reduce fall risk during coronavirus and keep seniors safe, and strong, while at home", said Blue Marble Health's CEO, Sheryl Flynn PT, PhD. Falls are a leading cause of disability and death in seniors. Unfortunately, coronavirus may make seniors become weaker and at higher risk of falling.

Blue Marble Health (www.bluemarblehealthco.com) would like to make this available to more people. Anyone who is interested in sponsoring, collaborating, and/or offering this as a HIPAA-compliant enterprise solution for their organization, please contact [email protected].
