What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This study evaluates whether a drug-free, non-invasive haptic patch (LIBERTY Patch) affects fall-risk classification and balance/mobility confidence in adults ages 55 to 85. Approximately 150 participants are assigned to wear either the active LIBERTY Patch or a visually identical sham patch daily for 7 days. Balance and mobility are assessed using the FallSkip wearable device and a Falls Efficacy Scale questionnaire at baseline and again after 7 days. Neither participants nor investigators know which patch is assigned during the study period, though this can be unblinded in an emergency.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults aged 55 to 85 who may be at risk of falling or want to improve their balance and confidence in mobility. Participants should be able to wear a patch daily for one week.
