In Hong Kong, the elderly's demand for home improvement is huge as 1.4m elderly have received such service so far and the number is expected to go up in the future. However, due to the shortage of manpower, occupational therapists and social workers might not be able give timely and effective advice on home improvement to all elderly. To address the problem, we have designed a tool "Ez-Anti-Fall" which can conduct a fall risk assessment with a heat map as well as provide suggestions for improvement.
