Is there anywhere that is recognised as having best practice in deploying technology for Falls prevention and/or monitoring?

Yes definitely!
A lot of work has been done through the EU Active and Healthy Ageing programme which has identified several “reference sites” recognised as having best practice in the use of technology for Falls Prevention and Monitoring. You can find details in these two reports

These are the reference sites that specifically rrelate to technology for Falls:

It’s clear that projects can have very different Desired Outcomes and deliver different benefits. It is really important to define what the Desired Outcomes are before a project is started!
Some examples include:
► Reduction in falls and hospital stays,
► Improved mood of the older people:
► Reduced amount of caregiver’s time needed:
► Cost efficiency compared with hospital stay
► Return on Investment
