What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will give 1,080 older adults with disabilities a smart wristband to wear for 8 weeks. The device tracks steps, heart rate, and fatigue, and shares data with caregivers and healthcare providers. Researchers want to see if this improves physical activity, daily functioning, and reduces caregiver stress.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Smart Wearable Wristband-Based Monitoring System
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that wearable devices help improve physical activity and care coordination for older adults with disabilities, potentially reducing caregiver burden.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study without a control group, so results may not prove cause and effect. The wristband may be uncomfortable or difficult for some participants to use consistently.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
