If you answer YES to any of below, the Tango Belt may be right for you: (4, 5)

  • Does the fear of a falls and hip fracture limit your mobility?

  • Are you at risk of falls?

  • Have you had a fracture after the age of 50?

  • Do you have or are you at risk of osteoporosis?

The Tango Belt can be an asset to help in-home care teams and their older adult patients.

When connectivity is enabled, wearers and staff are able to monitor activity and balance metrics, while easily managing belts for individual patients or groups of clients.

The Tango Belt can be transitioned from coordinated care effort to individual management as appropriate with ongoing ability to attenuate ground impact forces due to a serious hip-impacting fall and notification functionality for when attention is needed.

Remote Monitoring Platforms

The gathering of relevant clinical information such as adherence and confidence can contribute to increased reimbursement. The Tango Belt’s notifications, when partnered with call centers, offer PERS capabilities to capture additional value.

Timely Data

  • Monitor device adherence (Adherence up to 83% demonstrated)

  • Gather self-reported fear of falling

Lower Cost

  • Reduce Emergency Department visits and hospitalization rate (9)

  • Decrease staff burden (9)

  • Average 120-day cost per hip fracture $175,00 - 263,000 (6)

Better Care

  • Decrease rehospitalization for fall injuries (Rated as high as the 3rd leading readmission diagnosis) (8)

  • Provide impact force reduction with an airbag in serious hip-impacting falls.

tangoicon_Satisfaction.png

Improved Satisfaction

  • Empower people to age in place (50% of hip fracture patients do not return to prior level of living) (7)

  • Peace of mind with mobility

Senior Care Facility Benefits

Referrals-White.png

Increased Referrals and Occupancy

Innovation and best outcomes translate to becoming the preferred provider for your hospital discharge planner.  Increasing occupancy provides great return on investment.

Reduced-Risk-White.png

Reduced Risk and Liability

Falls with injury and hip fractures are the #1 risk and liability of most senior care providers.  The Tango Belt is a form-factor that residents will actually wear.

Ratings-Navy-White.png

Improved 5-Star Ratings

Based on the mobility increases experienced with the Tango Belt, a Tango program can translate to higher customer satisfaction and 5-star ratings for your facility.
