Abstract:

This article presents an experimental study of a location-based system designed to enhance the safety of residents’ ambulation within a nursing home. The primary objective is to assess the system’s impact on resident support, its acceptability, and its potential to improve the well-being of teams and families. To achieve this, a multi-phase protocol combining technical and medical validation has been designed, including tailored training sessions for users. The approach also includes a comprehensive analysis of the outcomes, based on both qualitative and quantitative indicators. Initial findings suggest a notable improvement in residents’ well- being and a substantial reduction in the daily burden of healthcare professionals.
