Cognitive DeteriorationSafEENCT02288221
Safe & Easy Environment at Home for Patients Presenting a Frail Syndrome
A study testing Patient's answer with non pharmacological therapeutic and Patient's answer without non pharmacological therapeutic in people with Cognitive Deterioration, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
All over the world the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders and its impact on functional decline is challenging the sustainability of health care systems. Older individuals also frequently experience the reversible "frailty syndrome", which overlaps with chronic diseases, increasing incidence of disability. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: SafEE : Safe & Easy Environment at Home for Patients Presenting a Frail Syndrome
All over the world the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders and its impact on functional decline is challenging the sustainability of health care systems. Older individuals also frequently experience the reversible "frailty syndrome", which overlaps with chronic diseases, increasing incidence of disability.
Building a global system aiming to take in charge all causes leading to loss of autonomy is a rather complicated task involving numerous Information and Communication technologies (ICT) solutions which are not always easy to use in everyday life.

The SafEE (Safe Easy Environment) project aim is to improve the safety, autonomy and quality of life of older people at risk.
The SafEE project develop non pharmacological therapeutic through diferent ICT (stimulation aromatherapy automatic fragrance, training interface based on Kinect sensor...) .
The goal of this study is to validate the acceptability, sensitivity and efficacy of the systems.
Read the detailed description
The non pharmacological therapeutic will be install at patient's home :
- aromatherapy,
- music therapy,
- cognitive training in multimedia application offering cognitive games.
Also smart phone will be given to the patient :
- to help him move with a geolocation application,
- to remind him of his daily needs (shopping lists, people to call, etc ...) with an alert apllication.
- Conditions
- Cognitive Deterioration
- Being tested
- Patient's answer with non pharmacological therapeutic, Patient's answer without non pharmacological therapeutic
What participants receive
