Development of a clinical support system for identifying social frailty.
International journal of medical informatics
Sep 26, 2019
OBJECTIVE: Recognizing frailty, also known as clinical geriatric syndrome in the elderly that is characterized by high vulnerability and low resilience, and its extensive influence in clinical practice is challenging. This study aims to develop a soc...
Home care aides' observations and machine learning algorithms for the prediction of visits to emergency departments by older community-dwelling individuals receiving home care assistance: A proof of concept study.
PloS one
Aug 13, 2019
BACKGROUND: Older individuals receiving home assistance are at high risk for emergency visits and unplanned hospitalization. Anticipating their health difficulties could prevent these events. This study investigated the effectiveness of an at-home mo...

How Prefrail Older People Living Alone Perceive Information and Communications Technology and What They Would Ask a Robot for: Qualitative Study.
Journal of medical Internet research
Aug 6, 2019
BACKGROUND: In the last decade, the family system has changed significantly. Although in the past, older people used to live with their children, nowadays, they cannot always depend on assistance of their relatives. Many older people wish to remain a...
FriWalk robotic walker: usability, acceptance and UX evaluation after a pilot study in a real environment.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Jun 7, 2019
: Scientific evidence supports that prevention strategies like multicomponent physical exercise help avoiding functional decline, falls and frailty. The robotic walker FriWalk, developed within the ACANTO project, supports the execution of controlled...
Importance of medical data preprocessing in predictive modeling and risk factor discovery for the frailty syndrome.
BMC medical informatics and decision making
Feb 18, 2019
BACKGROUND: Increasing life expectancy results in more elderly people struggling with age related diseases and functional conditions. This poses huge challenges towards establishing new approaches for maintaining health at a higher age. An important ...
Could Robots Help Older People with Age-Related Nutritional Problems? Opinions of Potential Users.
International journal of environmental research and public health
Nov 12, 2018
The rapid development of new technologies has recently raised interest in the use of assistive robots in the care of older people. The success or failure of robots' implementation is mediated by their acceptance by users. The aim of the study was to...
A robotic shower system : Acceptance and ethical issues.
Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
Dec 11, 2017
BACKGROUND: Being able to maintain personal hygiene plays a crucial role for independent living in old age or when suffering from disabilities. Within the European project ICT Supported Bath Robots (I‑SUPPORT) an intelligent robotic shower system is ...
User-Oriented Evaluation of a Robotic Rollator That Provides Navigation Assistance in Frail Older Adults with and without Cognitive Impairment.
Gerontology
Nov 29, 2017
BACKGROUND: Navigational skills decline with age, and this decline is even more pronounced in cognitively impaired (CI) older adults. Navigation assistance is an emerging functionality of robotic rollators (RRs). The evidence on the effectiveness of ...
Inclusion of service robots in the daily lives of frail older users: A step-by-step definition procedure on users' requirements.
Archives of gerontology and geriatrics
Oct 31, 2017
The implications for the inclusion of robots in the daily lives of frail older adults, especially in relation to these population needs, have not been extensively studied. The "Multi-Role Shadow Robotic System for Independent Living" (SRS) project ha...
Comparing clinician descriptions of frailty and geriatric syndromes using electronic health records: a retrospective cohort study.
BMC geriatrics
Oct 25, 2017
BACKGROUND: Geriatric syndromes, including frailty, are common in older adults and associated with adverse outcomes. We compared patients described in clinical notes as "frail" to other older adults with respect to geriatric syndrome burden and healt...
