AI-Driven Personalization of End-of-Life Care for the Elderly

Overview

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based software in personalizing high-quality end-of-life care for elderly patients. As the elderly population grows, providing tailored and quality care during the final stages of life becomes increasingly important. This AI software continuously monitors vital signs and behaviors through wearable sensors, offers smart medication reminders, alerts the care team to potential risks, and provides personalized care plans along with psychological and social support. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial comparing two groups: one receiving standard end-of-life care and the other using the AI software. Key outcomes include improving quality of life, reducing adverse events like falls and emergency hospitalizations, increasing patient and family satisfaction, improving medication management, and reducing caregiver burden. Data will be collected over six months to assess these effects. The results will help determine whether AI technology can enhance end-of-life care for seniors and support families and healthcare providers.

This section provides a comprehensive overview of the study design, objectives, population, interventions, and methods without repeating information already included in other sections of the record. It elaborates on the rationale for using AI-based software to personalize end-of-life care for elderly patients, details the randomized controlled trial setup, explains inclusion and exclusion criteria, intervention specifics, outcome measures, data collection methods, and planned statistical analyses. This description ensures a clear understanding of the study's scope and methodology.
