StandingTall delivers clinically proven fall prevention for older Australians via a digital app.

StandingTall is a clinically validated, digital exercise program that helps older people improve balance and prevent falls at home. Delivered via a user-friendly tablet app, it adapts in real time and includes a clinician dashboard for monitoring. Health and aged care providers licence StandingTall as a scalable, low touch fall prevention tool. Revenue is generated through B2B enterprise licensing and direct-to-consumer subscriptions, offering a cost-effective solution that supports independence while reducing care burden.

- Aged care and health providers struggle to meet prevention standards due to staffing and resource limits.
