Clinical Trial Summary

The general objective of this study is to test the usability and efficiency of the SAVE prototype, a technology-based support for enabling older adults to keep their independent and active lives in their homes and maintain their social relationships for as long as possible.


Clinical Trial Description

The SAVE system aims to offer technology-based support to older adults for staying in their familiar surroundings for as long as possible, while feeling safe and optimally cared for. The SAVE technology has been designed and developed according to the approach of the User Centered Design (UCD), which involves multiple interactions with users to under-stand their needs and preferences and to involve them in the design process for creating a truly useful and appreciated technological product. Secondarily, it supports informal caregivers, like relatives, in providing optimal care for their loved ones, while maintaining their professional and private life. The general objective of this study is to test the usability and efficiency of the SAVE prototype for enabling older adults to keep their independent and active lives in their homes and maintain their social relationships for as long as possible. The study involves the use of the SAVE platform for a total of 21 consecutive days.The study involves the use of a mixed-methods approach, in which both qualitative (open questions) and quantitative (standardized tests) data will be collected, and three different measurements (T0, T1, T2) will be made during the period of use of the system. The data collection card will therefore be divided into two different sections, which correspond to the three different moments of detection: 1) at time 0, that is, before the start of the experi-mentation (T0); 2) at time 1, after 10 days, i.e. at the midterm of the trial (T1), and 3) at time 2, after 21 days, i.e., at the end of the trial (T2). The log data of the usage of the SAVE sys-tem be the primary, secondary, and tertiary users will be continuously stored over the 21 days test period. ;
