Reducing COVID-19 Related Disability in Rural Community-Dwelling Older Adults Using Smart Technology
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Quality of Life, Disabilities Multiple
In brief
The social distancing requirements for COVID-19 coupled with the adverse health impacts of social isolation and decreased access to healthcare in rural areas places older adults with disabilities in a dire situation. The smart sensor system to be deployed and studied in this project aims to reduce disability for rural community-dwelling older adults and improve health-related quality of life, including depression and anxiety. An implementation guide will be developed to increase success of future scale-up evaluations.
