Summary

This study tests whether a vibrating reminder watch can encourage hospital patients to be more active. Many older patients lose strength and independence during a hospital stay due to inactivity. The watch vibrates several times a day to remind patients to walk or do simple exercises. The trial will include 204 frail patients aged 50 and older.

Active substance: vibrating reminder watch
What this could lead to: If it works, this simple vibrating watch could help older hospital patients stay active and avoid losing strength and independence during their stay.
