Specifically ProFouND’s objective was to embed evidence based fall prevention programmes for elderly people at risk of falls by using novel ICT and effective training programmes in at least 10 countries/15 regions by 2015 to facilitate widespread implementation. ProFouND achieved this in three main ways:

1. First, by collating evidence-based resources to inform the development and content of a novel state-of-the-art online web-based expert system; the ProFouND Falls Prevention Application (PFPApp). The PFPApp enables the creation of tailored, customised, up-todate best practice guidance, that can be context and individual specific.
2. Second, ProFouND, in collaboration with Later Life Training, provided a cascade model training programme using face to face and e-learning approaches to create a cadre of accredited exercise trainers across Europe to implement exercise regimens that have been proven to reduce falls amongst older people. The idea here is that once trained, these trainers would then in turn train instructors to deliver classes directly to people who need this kind of intervention.
3. Third, ProFouND also created an “ICT for Falls Forum” to identify evidence based solutions that can help reduce falls and engage with industry to promote development and adoption of these solutions. This forum run events and reach out to promote MHealth capabilities and European competitiveness in the sector.
