SMAI - Mobile System for Elderly Monitoring

Abstract

The SMAI uses Android mobile applications as the infrastructure to monitor elderly patients with chronic degenerative disease that present functional loss. The objectives are: (i) making the caregiver communication with the health team more agile; (ii) reducing caregiver's stress; (iii) providing the health team information about the patient's condition more often in an organized manner, facilitating decision-making. Applications are developed under the guidance of the health team and assessed in a quasi-randomized clinical trial with 30 + 30 patients accompanied by NAI/UERJ.
