Brief Summary

The study aim is to assess the capacity of a technological solution for analyzing older person's functional and cognitive autonomy at home. Results from this study will also be used to elaborate the design of a further larger national multicenter randomized control trial assessing the efficacy of the solution to detect early infra-clinical disability.

Detailed Description

The object of the present project is to evaluate an instrument for monitoring functional and cognitive autonomy in frail or disable elderly persons living alone at home. By assessing older person's autonomy at home and detecting early infra-clinical indicators, the solution could provide relevant clinical parameters to the caregivers and healthcare professionals in order to support the patient's follow-up, and support the detection of preliminary signs of functional loss. The device consists of a set of sensors embedded in the house with minimal invasiveness. The solution transmits the collected data to a remote storage server. Data will then be available for distance consultations by users (i.e., patients, careers or physicians). The study will conduct a wide range of evaluations of the device (technical, clinical, and economic), which will allow the optimization of the prototype. The evaluation of the solution will involve 25 frail or disable community-dwelling subjects living alone for 6 months. Comprehensive assessments will be conducted to highlight the feasibility, integration in healthcare network, and clinical relevance of the technological device.

VolunteersInstallation of 3PEGASE SensorThe Installation of 3PEGASE Sensor in elders volunteers to monitor clinical indicators at home.The instrument is for monitoring functional and cognitive autonomy in frail or disable elderly persons living alone at home. The volunteers will have 70 years old or more, living alone at home, frail of disable (ADL\> or =3) and able to walk by themselves.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The occurrence of alerts6 months

The occurrence of alerts : each alert will be recorded to characterize the number and the pace of alerts during the time of follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The relevance of each alert according to the subjective opinion6 months

The relevance of each alert if it's legitimate or not legitimate according to the subjective opinion of ; the investigator and the voluntary subject The "Classic" alerts (volunteers on behalf of the person being followed) generated by the system will be defined as valid or invalid on the basis of the carers' assessment: "was he legitimate to alert you? And professionals (assistance).

The "automatic" alerts generated by the sensors will be defined as valid or not on the basis of the assessment of the tele-assistant, the carer and the voluntary subject.
