Study Summary

This trial will test the feasibility of a new hospital room design to reduce the number of patient falls.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for frail elderly individuals who have trouble walking and are at risk of falling, especially when in the hospital. It's not suitable for those who rely on walking aids.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing how changing the layout of a patient's room might make it safer and prevent falls. It involves redesigning rooms based on simulations and focusing on what patients need.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves room design rather than medication, there aren't typical side effects like with drugs. However, changes in environment could potentially cause confusion or discomfort.
