About

Andrew Abdou is a leading researcher in geriatric health and patient safety, with a primary focus on fall prevention and the integration of technology into clinical care. His most-cited work, "Technology Utilization in Fall Prevention" (2020, 48 citations), addresses one of the most persistent challenges in acute care, rehabilitation, and long-term settings: reducing fall rates, a key quality metric for healthcare institutions. Abdou’s contributions lie in bridging the gap between traditional fall prevention policies and emerging digital tools, offering evidence-based frameworks for deploying sensors, wearables, and monitoring systems to predict and prevent patient falls. His research has been instrumental in shaping how hospitals and care facilities approach risk assessment and proactive intervention. Beyond this landmark paper, Abdou’s work continues to influence patient safety protocols, earning recognition for its practical, translational impact. By combining rigorous methodology with real-world applicability, he has helped shift fall prevention from reactive policy enforcement to a data-driven, technology-enabled strategy—a vital advancement for aging populations and high-acuity care environments.
