NCT ID NCT07489677
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a digital tool that helps hospital staff identify older patients taking too many medications with anticholinergic side effects, which can cause falls, confusion, and memory issues. The tool flags high-risk patients so doctors can consider stopping or switching those drugs. Researchers enrolled 21 patients aged 65+ to see if the tool is practical and acceptable.
