HIV Fall Risk Assessment Tool — Functional Digital Prototype
Published model • Validation protocol developed
Digital implementation of the published HIV-FRAT model
This functional prototype applies the published HIV-FRAT predictor weights, calculates the composite score automatically, and identifies whether the published critical threshold of ≥12.8 has been reached.
9 risk factors → weighted scores 1.1–3.0 → total score up to 16.8 → published threshold ≥12.8 → targeted clinical action
Fair demonstration: change any factor from No to Yes and the score updates instantly. For example, cannabis use adds 3.0 points.

The total score is below 12.8. Clinical interpretation should remain cautious while prospective validation is being prepared.
