This is a prospective randomized open study, which aims to evaluate the benefit of a connected watch to help people aged 65 years and older to withdraw from BZD over a six-month period, compared with classical withdrawal (e.g without connected watch). The study will include 100 patients, 50 in the control group and 50 in the intervention group.
Participants will be identified during a 12-month period through either external geriatric consultations or during a brief hospitalisation.
Despite a trivialized use of benzodiazepine (BZD) in elderly people (EP), long-term efficacy is often questioned, and treatment has to be regularly re-examined to avoid side effects. Typical intervention techniques to aid patients in reducing their dosage involve: providing information about BZD, explaining the risks associated with a chronic exposure, and tips for a successful withdrawal. In addition, the usage of a connected device may reinforce the patient's motivation by providing details on the quality of sleep and the number of steps taken (activity).
