What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether showing older hospitalized patients their own activity levels on a bedside screen could encourage them to move more. 130 adults aged 60+ with conditions like COPD, heart failure, or Parkinson's wore a small sensor and saw real-time feedback on time spent lying, sitting, standing, or walking. The goal was to see if this simple nudge increases time out of bed during the hospital stay and for three months after discharge.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
digital nudging intervention (activity sensor and bedside monitor with visual feedback)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a simple, low-cost way to encourage more movement in older hospitalized patients, potentially improving recovery and reducing readmissions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 130 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, so individual motivation and adherence can vary widely.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

130 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

May 2024

Finished

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

60 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: An individual will be eligible for study participation if he/she meets the following criteria: Aged ≥60 1. Is admitted to one of the participating departments 2. Has signed informed consent 3. Reads and speaks Danish, Norwegian, Italian, or English Exclusion Criteria: An individual will be excluded from the study if he/she meets any of the following criteria: 1. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the person unfit for participation, e.g., delirium and/or psychotic symptoms; moderate or severe depression (GDS\>8 (short form)); major surgery; moderate/severe dementia (MoCA≤18); chemotherapy or radiation treatment ongoing at enrolment; moderate/severe frailty (CFS≥6) 2. Expected hospitalisation less than 24 hours 3. Has allergy towards band aid 4. Enrolled in any other clinical study within the duration of the current study. While these criteria represent the criteria for being observed, only patients observed for at least 24 hours are included in the analysis population. For practical reasons it is not possible to predict those patients eligible for the analysis population at inclusion. Hence, we will monitor more patients than we will analyse (see statistical analysis section).
