Abstract

The ARPEGE project proposes a set of technological tools to assess frailty of elderly in their usual environment, typically their home, with reference to Fried´s scale of physical frailty. It consists of a set of measurement devices wirelessly connected to a tablet PC which allows easy manipulation by social caregivers and the production of reports either at the end of the investigation, or later by consultation of the investigation history. The whole frailty evaluation takes a maximum of eight minutes to perform.
