ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new anti-wandering system designed to help keep individuals with intellectual disabilities safe in a day activity center and hostel. The main goals are to find out if this system can help care staff respond more quickly to alarms and reduce their workload when monitoring residents. The study will also explore how many alarms are triggered, how many of those alarms are false, and the overall benefits of this system compared to traditional methods of keeping residents safe.

To participate in the trial, residents of the study sites who are able to move around independently are eligible. Care staff who operate the system can also take part. If you or someone you know is interested, the trial is currently recruiting participants. Throughout the study, participants can expect to be monitored while using the anti-wandering system, and their experiences will help determine how effective this technology is in enhancing safety and support.
