Ageing-friendly cities for assessing older adults' decline: IoT-based system for continuous monitoring of frailty risks using smart city infrastructure.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsPopulation ageing is a typical phenomenon of developed countries with a great influence in their economy and society, with an increment on age-related expenditures. Disruptive solutions are needed to deploy new cost-effective and sustainable solutions for aging well and independent living of our seniors. In this sense, new technological paradigms as IoT technologies and smart cities have the potential to become main drivers for innovation uptake. The purpose of this study is to describe a longitudinal cohort study in smart cities for assessing early frailty symptoms deploying an unobtrusive IoT-based system in the Madrid city.
methodsA system was deployed in the Madrid city with the participation of 45 elderly users for an average of 71 weeks. Metrics were assessed by the available sensors in combination with the open data infrastructure of Madrid. Metrics include activity of the user, weekly visits pattern and transport daily usage pattern. System engagement was also monitored. Participants are assessed bimonthly with health and functional questionnaires.
results45 older adults with a mean age of 79.1 years. Participants activity patterns monitor detected changes during potentially risky situations that usually were not reported by traditional assessment tools. Analysis of data collected enabled to identify absence of frailty (robust or post-robust status) DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsThe results demonstrate the feasibility of engaging older adults with an IoT-based system and the successful collection of their activity metrics. Variation in the activity patterns may be a first sign of functional decline and enables to identify potential areas of early intervention.
