Effect of Online Support and Patient Empowerment on Functional Ability and Well-being in Older Adults: a Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Consultation, Online Support, and 1 other intervention for Frailty and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 43 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is looking at whether older people could benefit from an online monitoring platform to support their individual ambitions to maintain or improve functional ability. It is hypothesized this will enable the individual to monitor themselves periodically, obtain feedback about their functional ability, receive recommended diet, exercise and physical activity interventions and record the adherence to any intervention. All information can be linked back to the health care professional for official support and intervene when a decline is noticed, in order to prevent frailty from developing. The aim of this study is to find out if providing more support and greater empowerment can help older people improve their functional ability by self-monitoring and personalised interventions.
