About

This study seeks to expand the use of the NYU GeriKit mobile application ("app") in a diverse range of settings to better phenotype older patients, which will enhance both research and patient care.

Full description

This is a single-center proof of concept study of geriatric impairments and feasibility metrics through the use of the GeriKit software application in older adults with ischemic heart disease at the NYU Langone Medical Center. The GeriKit mobile application was developed to make geriatric assessment instruments easily accessible to clinicians who do not have subspecialty training in geriatrics. The GeriKit app has been used clinically but is untested in research settings.
