Summary

The PRECISE study is a 12-week pilot intervention study to evaluate the usability of the new DigiPrehab technology application in elderly subjects. The DigiPrehab system will enable the early identification of seniors with significant risk factors for falling and will propose an individualized physical training plan at home.

Detailed description

The PRECISE project takes the positive results achieved with the DigiRehab application (https://digirehab.dk/en) in home rehabilitation and takes a further step in this direction by combining the personalized training delivered through the application with an artificial intelligence-based predictive model (Artificial intelligence - Decision Support Systems platform, AI-DSS platform) for fall risk assessment in the elderly. In particular, 20 senior participants will test the DSS beta prototype. This new system, called DigiPrehab, will enable early identification of the elderly with significant risk factors for falling and propose an individualized physical training plan to attend to the identified critical areas.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	DigiPrehab system	Using an Artificial Intelligence-Machine Learning (AI-ML) DSS platform, which analyzes a large collection of data (screening and local data) from different sources, the DigiPrehab system will allow to predict the risk of falling in the elderly subjects. Once the screening will be completed, to carry out the prevention of falls, the system will assign to the participants a personalised exercise program that the patient will carry out at home for 12 weeks. The exercises will be chosen from the following: squat at door, squat on chair, squat with knee-lift, squat with heel-raise, stand-no support, toe-raise with support, toe-raise, one leg balance, weight-shift with support, weight-shift without support, lunge with support, lunge, step on book, step over book, step onto box or stair, step forward-sideways, step forward-sideways-backwards, knee to elbow, timed up and go.
