Multicomponent interventions and technologies to reduce the burden of frailty, functional, and cognitive decline: insights from the Age-It Research Program.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Preventing age-related complications is a critical priority for health systems. Within the Age-It program, Spoke 8 aims to evaluate scalable, multicomponent, technology-assisted interventions to prevent frailty and mitigate functional and cognitive decline in older adults across different care settings.

Methods

Spoke 8 includes three clinical studies conducted in community, hospital, and long-term care settings, supported by cross-cutting work packages on digital infrastructure, technology development, and economic evaluation. The intervention model integrates physical, cognitive, nutritional, and psychosocial components, supported by digital tools, biomarkers of aging, and a centralized data platform.

Results

The project is expected to generate evidence on
