| Abstract | ObjectiveWe aimed to co-create and evaluate an integrated system to follow-up frailty in a community dwelling environment and provide a multi-modal tailored intervention. Frailty and dependency among the older population are a major challenge to the sustainability of healthcare systems. Special attention must be paid to the needs and particularities of frail older persons as a vulnerable group.MethodsTo ensure the solution fits all the stakeholders’ needs, we performed several participatory design activities with them, such as pluralistic usability walkthroughs, design workshops, usability tests and a pre-pilot. The participants in the activities were older people; their informal carers; and specialized and community care professionals. In total, 48 stakeholders participated.ResultsWe created and evaluated an integrated system consisting of four mobile applications and a cloud server, which has been evaluated through a 6-months clinical trial, where secondary endpoints were both usability and user experience evaluation. In total, 10 older adults and 12 healthcare professionals participated in the intervention group using the technological system. Both patients and professionals have positively evaluated their applications.ConclusionBoth older adults and healthcare professionals have considered the resulted system easy to use and learn, consistent and secure. In general terms, they also would like to keep using it in the future. |
