Dizzero

About this project

75 year old patient comes into the clinic. Doctor checks the vitals and labs, but he says everything looks fine and there is no problem. He would still want the elderly to go to 2 other doctors and it a span of 3 months. After seeing all the doctors, dizziness continues but all the doctors say there's nothing wrong and patient eventually ends up in ER. Did you know out of 70 million people enrolled in medicare, 1/4 adults fall each year? And roughly 30 billion annual medicare dollars are attributed to fall related injuries. Each fall costs $26,000-62,000 per person, so you could imagine how fast that would build up. And still, 48% of falls are recurring and medication-related dizziness is frequently overlooked since healthcare design is set up to be reactive and not preventative. So, Dizzero helps elderly patients identify which medications cause dizziness and learn safer alternative medication to reduce fall risk through reading or AI counselor if they can't read due to vision impairment or illiteracy.
