Validation of the ADAMO Watch for the Early Detection of Fall Events in Older Patients

Validazione Dell'Orologio ADAMO Per l'Individuazione Precoce Delle Cadute Nel Paziente Anziano

"La Casa nel Parco" (CANP) Project is a multidisciplinary project funded by the European Union and Regione Piemonte aimed to explore innovative technology application in the care of older subjects. In this context, ADAMO is a single arm open label trial evaluating the capability of a wearable watch device to correctly detect fall events in community-dwelling older subjects aged 75 years and older, at high risk of falls. Secondary objectives of the study are to identify specific patterns on telemetric measures and health status variations able to predict future fall events, and to evaluate the tolerability and the influence on patient's quality of life of this wearable device.

The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the impact of the intervention on 1) medication adherence after discharge 2) medication appropriateness.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Aged 75 years and older
• At least 2 fall events during the 12 months previous to enrollment
• Signed written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Severe cognitive impairment
• Bedridden condition
