Fall Clinical Trial - Superiority of Intelligent Video Surveillance +

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Maintaining the elderly at home and preventing them from falling are major public health issues. The vast majority of elderly people wish to remain at home. The fear of a fall with prolonged standing is a frequent reason for institutionalization. There are few procedures that have been shown to be effective in preventing falls and their complications. Prolonged standing on the floor is a major complication that can lead to multiple events, including death. Tele-alarms are widely used in France and in Europe, but their effectiveness in the event of a fall is poor and their use is restrictive (they require physical and mental capacities to activate). However, elderly people at risk of falling are often frail or dependent, suffering from cognitive disorders and sometimes polymorbid, which explains the large number of failures of tele-alarms. There are other alert systems, notably intelligent video surveillance systems such as the VA2CS. This is a video system placed in the home that analyzes the position of subjects in real time using algorithms based on artificial intelligence. The system works continuously without video capture and sends an alert with a photo if a person is lying down after a fall. The alert is confirmed after an operator has checked the photo capture on a dedicated platform. To date, it has a sensitivity and specificity of over 90% (manufacturer's data not published). Its performance is equivalent to other intelligent video surveillance systems published in the literature. This system is autonomous and does not rely on the abilities of the person at risk of falling. Intelligent video surveillance is an innovative technology which has not yet been evaluated in a geriatric care program, nor compared to a reference or analyzed from a quality of life or medico-economic perspective. The hypothesis of this study is that intelligent video surveillance allows an exhaustive and early detection of the fall with a faster alert enabling to avoid prolonged standing on the ground and its consequences compared to the tele-alarm alone.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
