Ecological monitoring for the assessment of frailty in older people (EMA_Frailty)

Project reference number: AC24/00142
Brief description of the objective or purpose of the grant:

This proposal seeks to address frailty in older adults through the development of an innovative Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) system based on Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). The objective is to create a real‑time, continuous monitoring system, seamlessly integrated into the everyday environment, scalable across different healthcare settings, and capable of promoting secondary prevention strategies.

Main objectives:

  1. Early detection and intervention: Identify subtle changes in health and daily activity in order to intervene in time and slow the progression of frailty.
  2. Personalised care: Analyse individual patterns to provide tailored care strategies.
  3. Technological integration: Incorporate AAL technologies into homes in a discreet manner to improve effectiveness and adherence.
  4. Legal and ethical aspects: Evaluate privacy and data‑security issues related to continuous monitoring.
  5. Economic and social impact: Analyse the cost‑effectiveness and scalability of the system across different healthcare settings.
  6. Stakeholder engagement: Involve healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers in the design and validation of the system.
  7. Adoption barriers: Investigate perceptions, benefits, and obstacles to facilitate the implementation and acceptance of the system.
