Physical Activity Clinical Trial
Official title:
FoodnGo - Empower: A Feasibility Study
The research and innovation programme Food´n´Go - Empower aims to develop, test and
implement health technology solutions for active involvement and increased empowerment of
elderly patients and their relatives solving well-known problem areas as malnutrition and
inactivity.
The prototype was developed in 2013. The project is a collaboration between departement of
internal medicine in Copenhagen University Hospital, one local municipality and a private
it-company. The technology is a tablet computer, used by elderly patients to order and
register food intake during hospitalization. The tablet is also used to get inspiration for
physical activities during hospital admission and after discharge and for registration of
physical activities.
The aim of this study is to test if an adjusted version of the Food´n´Go technology through
active involvement of the elderly patient can prevent weightloss and loss of muscle strength
during hospitalization and after discharge.
Welfare and health technology are often directed at solving problems and meeting the needs
of societies' most vulnerable groups often not familiar with computers.
The research and innovation programme Food´n´Go - Empower aims to develop, test and
implement health technology solutions for involvement and increased empowerment of elderly
patients and their relatives. The focus is on frequent issues for this group of patients, in
this phase focusing on nutrition and physical activity. Later, the solution will include
pain management, management of sleep problems, medication management, prevention of
confusion and coordination of the treatment and care course across sectorial borders. The
technology is a tablet- computer, operated by the patient by means of a number of app-like
software applications.
In the summer 2013 the programme received a grant from the Capitol Region's
Public-Private-Innovation (OPI) pool for design and development of the prototype. In 2014
the prototype for nutrition was tested in a feasibility study. Usability and acceptability
was tested in the patients' own home, as well as the effect of the nutrition intervention,
after discharge from hospital (see protocol 10/16/2014).
The results were promising, and the aim is now to test the technology for supporting both
nutrition and physical activity across sectorial boundaries. The elderly patient will
operate the tablet during admission and after discharge, continuing the efforts aimed at
nutrition and physical activity during the stay at a rehabilitation centre 5 to 6 weeks
after discharge. The working hypothesis is: Functional ability and nutritional status will
be stabilized or improved, and readmissions and dependency of municipal services will be
reduced.
The aim of this study is:
1. to test if an adjusted version of the Food´n´Go technology through active involvement
of the elderly patient can prevent weight loss and loss of muscle strength during
hospitalization and after discharge
2. to develop and test the technology in relation to stability, applicability and
acceptability
