Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Limoges
Brief Summary

While depend elderly people needs are important in Nursing Home, the medical resources are weak from both inside and outside residences located in a medical desert. The goal of this project is to measure the acceptability of Artificial Intelligence and Telemedicine in Nursing Home located in medical desert for patients, nurses, and medical doctor

Detailed Description

The ageing of the population comes along with the problematic of chronic pathologies and dependence, with sometimes serious consequences resulting in an admission in Nursing Home. While the low require a medical doctor in each Nursing Home, one third of the Nursing Home does not have. Some Nursing Homes can be in a tricky situation with no medical doctor coordinator and the difficulty of access to a medical doctor who covered a wide territory. In this context, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence coupled with Telemedicine is a new opportunity to find solution in healthcare organization and to develop advanced geriatric medical practice in medical desert territory. The goal of this study is to quantify and characterize the acceptability of Artificial Intelligence and Telemedicine in Nursing Home located in medical desert for patients, nurses, and medical doctor.

All the patients were examined by a nurse. The symptoms filled by the nurse in the Artificial Intelligence/Telemedicine device are sent and then analyzed by a distant medical doctor to purpose a care. The nurse also solicited the attending medical doctor as usual care.

The recommendations of the both medical doctors could be (i) Vital emergency, (ii) non-vital emergency necessitate medication or hospitalization, and (iii) non-emergency with medical appointment.
