Preventing Falls with Jim Closs

Jim Closs // CareTech Solutions

Adding value doesn’t have to mean inventing something new. Sometimes it can mean bringing things together in a new way.

That’s what Jim Closs is doing with CareTech Solutions. He takes existing research and technology to assess fall risk in seniors using biomarkers like gait and strength.

I had a chance to talk with Jim about the severity and prevalence of falls, the impact they have on the healthcare system, what providing value actually means, and why he’s the general contractor of fall prevention.
