Sponsor: Jaheeda Gangannagaripalli

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

"Keep on Keep up (KOKU)" is a tablet/iPad-based, digital strength and balance exercise programme specifically designed for older people at risk of falls. Research has shown that the exercises reduce falls by around a third in older people. People with Dementia are more reluctant and have greater challenges with using digital technologies. Evidence suggests that developing technologies in a Patient-Centered manner will be more acceptable in this population as People living with Dementia are more reluctant to using digital technologies. The existing version of the KOKU digital programme has been modified in collaboration with People living with Dementia and carers of People living with Dementia to suit their needs and make it Dementia-friendly, and accessible to People living with Dementia known as KOKU-LITE. The current project involves testing KOKU-LITE with People living with Dementia, their carers, and health and social care professionals. This project will have many possible benefits for People living with Dementia; It has the potential to improve quality of life (QoL), well-being, confidence, independence, and therefore has the potential to reduce general practice visits, hospital admissions, and health and social care costs.

Official title: A Feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial of a Digital Program to Prevent Falls and Improve Well-being in People Living With Dementia in the Community.
