Access to, use of, and experiences with social alarms in home-living people with dementia: results from the LIVE@Home.Path trial.

Depending on their living situation, patients and family members experienced the installed social alarm differently. There is a gap between access to and the use of social alarms. The results indicate an urgent need for better routines in municipalities with regard to the provision and follow-up of existing social alarms. To meet the users' changing needs and abilities, passive monitoring may help them adapt to declining cognitive abilities and increase their safety.: https://ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04043364.
