About
Zibrio is a medtech company offering a scientifically validated fall prediction and balance monitoring solution designed for senior care. At its core is the Zibrio Stability Scale — a precision measurement device that objectively quantifies a patient's fall risk with clinical accuracy. Studies show that using Zibrio's platform results in a 74% reduction in falls and identifies 2–5x more high-risk individuals compared to traditional clinical screening methods. The system is built for multiple care settings: senior living communities, primary care practices, payers and managed care organizations, and fitness professionals. It is durable enough for high-traffic clinical environments and simple enough for patients to self-monitor at home, also supporting remote patient monitoring programs. Zibrio's software ecosystem includes the ZIBRIO Portal for care team management and training, as well as the BalanceCoach App, which provides patients with personalized guidance for improving balance. The platform generates reliable, reproducible data that clinicians can use to drive evidence-based fall prevention interventions, track patient progress over time, and demonstrate measurable outcomes. By treating balance like a vital sign — similar to blood pressure — Zibrio helps healthcare organizations close the care gap in fall prevention, reduce the financial burden of fall-related injuries, and improve quality of life for older adults. It is particularly valuable for annual wellness visits, osteoporosis care, and concierge medicine practices.

Pros
- Clinically Proven Effectiveness: Backed by science with a documented 74% reduction in falls and significantly higher detection rates than conventional clinical methods.
- Versatile Deployment: Works across multiple settings — senior living communities, primary care offices, and patients' homes — making it adaptable to diverse care models.
- Objective, Reproducible Data: Eliminates the subjectivity of self-reported fall history and observer-dependent tests, providing reliable data to support clinical decision-making.
- Supports Revenue & Outcomes: Enables care providers to offer novel fall risk assessments that can drive new revenue streams while improving patient outcomes.
Cons
- Hardware Dependency: Requires purchasing and maintaining the physical stability scale device, which may involve upfront costs and logistics for smaller practices.
