Abstract

Frailty condition is an intermediate state in the ageing trajectory, preceding the onset of disability, and is becoming both challenging and priority to guarantee the sustainability of healthcare systems. To address it, we designed a software platform for supporting CGA and monitoring the activities performed at patients' dwelling. We have implemented an alert engine to inform the care professionals of intrinsic capacity decline, and a decision support system for referral recommendations. Besides, the platform enables them to provide tailored interventions to their patients.

Keywords: CGA; frailty prevention; home monitoring; tailored intervention.
