About

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.

Full 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.
