Brief Summary:
This project, that lays in Health Ageing mission promoted by European Commission, aims to address the issue of frailty, a condition that poses the elderlies to increased vulnerability, deconditioning, and, ultimately, loss of independence. Frail people are exposed to a significant increase in mortality, hospitalizations and falls, with high burden for families and for the National Health Service (NHS). Nowadays, the detection of frailty is performed with more than 75 validated measures including questionnaires, scales and technologies. Moreover, frailty is usually not properly addressed, due to the limited resources in terms of personnel and programs in the NHS, and the frail patient is at high risk to be institutionalized and to definitely lose his functional independence. The project here proposed aims to address these topics, by combining clinical, rehabilitation, and engineering expertise in a unique team.
Indeed, the projects aims to empower the frail people with an home-based app-guided rehabilitation program. In order to easily develop a largely tested home-based walking program, we aim to design and develop an application, compatible with any device, that will enable each person to easily exercise at home just few minutes per day. Through a randomized-controlled clinical trial, we will verify the effectiveness of the rehabilitation program on frailty status, in promoting patients' independence, quality of life and ARTIDE score.
