What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a person-centered eHealth intervention designed to support community-dwelling frail older adults aged 75 and older. The study aims to promote health, self-management, and teamwork between older people and health and social care professionals. This project addresses the growing need for innovative healthcare solutions for older populations facing frailty and functional impairments, using a digital platform co-created with users to reduce hospitalizations and improve self-efficacy. The intervention lasts for six months and is provided alongside usual care. It includes a series of person-centered phone calls with healthcare professionals to co-create a personalized health plan. This plan identifies the older person's goals, resources, and support needs involving family, friends, and care professionals via a digital platform. If needed, a home visit will help install and introduce the digital platform on the participant's device. Participants will be assessed at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months for outcomes such as self-efficacy, hospital care needs, quality of life, daily activities, falls, and cost-effectiveness. The study involves regular evaluations of the health plan between the older person, healthcare professionals, and their team through the digital platform. The trial includes a randomized controlled design with a control group receiving usual care and no intervention.
