简要总结
The growth of the elderly population is associated with the autonomy failure and the increase of dependence problems. Fall incidents are the third cause of chronic disablement in older persons and are one of the major risk factors for entering in dependence.
The recent progress in home technologies and medical care are opportunities to search how to apply these tools to reduce and prevent falling at home.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cost effectiveness of simple home automation pack coupled to teleassistance service for preventing home falls in frail elderly population.
1200 patients will be enrolled and randmosied within two arms:
- home with automation pack coupled to teleassistance service
- home without this technology
详细描述
This study is one of the first European randomized studies using the criteria MAST (Model for Assessment of Telemedicine) for medico-economic evaluation of technology solutions for the prevention and care in the elderly. The medico-economic evaluation of the overall contribution of home automation kit associated with telecare will be conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the research program Renewing Health FP7 the European Union. This program has developed an analytical model common to all evaluations of telemedicine applications that have an impact on health.
. The home-based technology in this study will be a simple home automation pack coupled to teleassistance service. The automation pack will include: a remote intercom, an electronic bracelet or pendentive, a pull shower in the bathroom, a light path, a smoke detector and a gas detector in the kitchen. The central hotline will provide telephone support at all times.
Intercom is a remote transmitter which enables the platform to provide remote assistance with the elderly at home.
Each person will have electronic bracelet or pendentive with a medallion which will be provided with the dialer. It is a system that allows remote assistance to the elderly by pressing the central medallion of the device to request assistance or report a dangerous situation (risk of falling, or fall) to the platform of teleassistance.
The bathroom alarm zipper is a device installed in the shower that allows subjects to use it when at risk of falling or fall detection. The shower is a high risk of fall for the elderly due to movements very often results in an imbalance of seniors already weakened by aging.
