Effectiveness of an Ambient Intelligence Geriatric Management system (AmbIGeM) to prevent falls in older people in hospitals: the AmbIGeM stepped wedge randomised trial.

跌倒在医院很常见，尤其是在老年患者和认知障碍患者中。我们将调查我们新开发的环境智能老年管理系统（ambience intelligence geriatric management system，简称AmbiGeM）是否可以减少医院的跌倒次数，并为工作人员、患者和/或护理人员所接受。该系统可以识别患者进行与跌倒风险增加相关的危险动作（例如，在没有必要辅助的情况下行走），并提醒工作人员尽早提供帮助。

Falls are common in hospitals, especially among older patients and those with cognitive impairment. We will investigate if our newly developed ambience intelligence geriatric management system (AmbiGeM), which recognises when patients are undertaking risky movements related to increased risk of falling (e.g. walking without a necessary aid), and alerts staff so that they could offer help earlier, could reduce the number of falls in hospitals and is acceptable to staff and patients and/or carers.
