NCT ID NCT07160907
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a training program that includes wearing an aging simulation suit can improve care workers' knowledge, empathy, and communication with elderly residents. About 162 care workers in Taiwan will take part. The goal is to see if this hands-on experience leads to better attitudes and care.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Ageing Simulation Experience Program (behavioral training with a simulation suit)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could improve how care workers treat elderly residents, making them more patient and understanding.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in Taiwan, so results may not apply elsewhere. It measures attitudes, not health outcomes, so real-world impact is uncertain.
