FrailStop: Frailty Prevention
Loading..
Is a technological infrastructure to prevent disability.
The approach is to monitor the Intrinsic Capacity (physical mental and psychological) from home in older than 65 to provide the elderly tailored interventions.
The platform involves all the relevant actors (patients caregivers healthcare professionals –primary care and specialists-doctors and nurses).
Started as a research project at the Department of Geriatrics at Hospital Universitario de Getafe in collaboration with the Centro de Tecnología Biomédica belonging to the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
- We have developed a technological platform able to detect monitor and intervene in a non-intrusive way on this older people to avoid the development of disability.
- The platform stems from the findings in several research funded projects and in the large experience of the team longer than 30 years in the field of geriatrics frailty and functional decline biomedical technology and business development.
- Platform combines sensors Artificial Intelligence-based algorithms for decision-making support interventions (personalized physical exercise programs nutritional support and counselling system to correct polypharmacy) monitoring (through sensors-based and self-applied questionnaires) and connection among formal (physicians nurses OT…) and non-formal careers (family friends) able to provide a comprehensive approach to the yet uncovered needs of the user.
- The platform has been carefully assessed for feasibility and usability obtaining high scores (from very well to excellent) and has shown to improve functionality and decrease the use of health resources through a proper Research Clinical Trial.
- The recommendations offered by the APP are obtained from the Getafe Hospital source (https://www.comunidad.madrid/hospital/getafe/).
- The devices used with this application are not medical devices they are devices that connect via Bluetooth to measure gait speed and the number of lifts performed.
Disclaimer: Attention this app is not a substitute for a doctor and does not use any medical devices. If you have any discomfort to carry out the proposed activities you should consult your doctor.
