Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study evaluates whether a telemonitoring platform of activities of daily living amongst the elderly can improve their quality of life. Participants will be randomised to two different follow-up strategies, one comprising a monitoring platform and the other standard visits at a healthcare facility. Quality of life will be assessed using standardised questionnaires.


Clinical Trial Description

Elderly participants at perceived socioeconomic risk will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a telemonitoring platform in their houses or standard health care. The platform will include sensors able to detect falls, nocturia (which have been previously validated) and sensors for environmental variables including humidity, carbon monoxide levels and temperature. In addition, a wearable panic button will be provided for participants allocated to the sensor platform which will allow them to obtain help in case of an emergency. The sensor platform will be connected to emergency services and healthcare providers,and they should receive and react to any anomaly detected in their readings. Participants will be followed up for 10 months. Quality of life questionnaires, including the World Health Organisation's WHOQOL-BREF and the EQ-5D for health-related quality of life, will be used to address potential intervention effects. ;
