November 13, 2023 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice

All over the world the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders and its impact on functional decline is challenging the sustainability of health care systems. Older individuals also frequently experience the reversible "frailty syndrome", which overlaps with chronic diseases, increasing incidence of disability.

Building a global system aiming to take in charge all causes leading to loss of autonomy is a rather complicated task involving numerous Information and Communication technologies (ICT) solutions which are not always easy to use in everyday life.

The SafEE (Safe Easy Environment) project aim is to improve the safety, autonomy and quality of life of older people at risk.

The SafEE2 project develop non pharmacological therapeutic through diferent ICT (stimulation aromatherapy automatic fragrance ...) .

The goal of this study is to validate the acceptability, sensitivity and efficacy of the systems.
