Using a Proactive Telecare System to Support Independence, Health, and Well-Being in Older Adults: Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Proactive telecare offers services designed to reduce the occurrence of emergency situations by delivering proactive outbound calls and follow-ups and providing information and advice. By engaging regularly with users, proactive telecare may foster social connections with older adults and enable the detection of changes in needs. Telecare systems that promote active participation among older adults may also foster feelings of autonomy and self-management.
