Graizend – Preventing falls and empowering independence 

In Europe, 1 in 3 people over 65 and 1 in 2 over 80 experience a fall each year. These incidents cost the EU around €25 billion annually in medical expenses and exact a heavy societal toll as well. With the elderly population projected to grow by 60% by 2050, fall-related injuries are expected to rise sharply without effective interventions. 

Graizend is an early stage deep-tech startup based in the Netherlands, building wearable solutions to prevent falls. Our discreet, comfortable devices and algorithms will empower seniors to live safely and independently.
