ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new tool called the PRESAGE CARE questionnaire, which uses technology to help identify health risks in older adults, particularly those who may be experiencing frailty or other age-related health issues. The goal is to see how well this questionnaire can detect problems like depression, undernutrition, cognitive impairment, and difficulties with daily activities. Researchers will be working with seniors at the Charles-Foix Hospital in France from October 2023 to July 2024, asking their family caregivers to complete the questionnaire on a digital app during hospital visits.

To participate in this study, caregivers must be family members of individuals aged 65 and older who are receiving care at the hospital and can provide consent to join the trial. Participants can expect to fill out the questionnaire, which will then help identify specific health risks for their loved ones. The researchers will also compare the results from this questionnaire with traditional health assessments conducted on the same day. This study is important because it aims to improve early detection of health issues in older adults using innovative technology, potentially leading to better care and support for them.
