A note on what this is. These guides are general information, not medical advice. Steady is a wellness app, not a medical device: it doesn't diagnose, screen for or predict falls or any condition, and a balance score is not a fall-risk assessment. If your balance has changed, if you feel dizzy, or if you've had a fall, that's a conversation to have with a clinician. Learn what Steady measures.
