Drug Interaction, Fall Prevention, Pressure Injury, Undernutrition
Conditions
Brief summary
NETSmart software is designed to help doctors, nurses and care assistants adapt the care of elderly people living in nursing homes to the following risks: * pressure injuries * undernutrition * interactions between different drugs * falls. The software analyzes the information in your medical records, alerts your medical team to any points of vigilance, and suggests appropriate recommendations. The study comprises 2 distinct phases: * An initial 4-month phase, during which the medical staff will simply assess whether the NETSmart software's recommendations are relevant, without changing their current practice, i.e. they will continue to care for you as usual; * A second 6-month phase, during which your caregivers will follow the software's recommendations if they feel they are relevant, and potentially adapt your care.
