"Intelligent" cane helps prevent falls in elderly

Falls are the number one cause of injury and death in older Americans. Every second of every day an older adult falls in the US. The CDC reports one in three people over 65 falls each year. And one out of five falls leads to serious injury. The medical cost -$31 billion dollars a year. A Vanderbilt researcher says his new ‘intelligent’ cane can help stop those debilitating falls.
