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.

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

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 explores whether a smartphone app can help older adults evaluate their risk of falling. Researchers will compare phone sensor data with gold-standard wearable sensors during balance and walking tests, then build a model that combines this data with personal factors like age and medical history. The goal is to create an app that lets older adults self-administer fall risk assessments and receive personalized risk information.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A smartphone application that uses built-in sensors to assess fall risk, along with motor tests and questionnaires.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give older adults a simple, accessible way to check their own fall risk and receive personalized alerts, potentially preventing falls.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with a small number of participants. The app's accuracy may not hold up in real-world settings, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
