Findings from the following two studies support the effectiveness of SmartCells in reducing fall related injuries:

     This study was done in the Older Persons Health (OPH) wards of a New Zealand hospital. Over 31 months, there were 323 falls in the whole ward. Fall-related injuries rate were significantly less frequent when they occurred on Low-Impact Flooring (22% of falls versus 34% of falls on control flooring). There were also more head injuries in control flooring. In terms of factures rate, there were 0.7% of falls in the Low-Impact Flooring versus 2.3% in the control flooring.

   This study was done in an Arizona nursing home between July 2008, and December 2010. Over the study period, there were 449 documented falls. There was no significant difference in terms of the frequency of falls on Dual-Stiffness Flooring (SmartCells) and regular flooring. However, the fracture rate on regular flooring was 2.4%, and none on the Dual-Stiffness Flooring.
