RECRUITING

Using Consumer-grade Wearable Devices for Fall Risk Evaluation and Alerts

NCT06508892 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Creation and use of a smartphone application for older adults to assess the participants' risk of fall. Phase 1: Compare the accuracy and validity of accelerometer and gyroscopic data from a smartphone and gold-standard, wearable sensors gathered during balance and gait activities. Phase 2: Develop a model that integrates wearable sensor data and individual characteristics, such as age, medical conditions, exercises, previous falls, fear of falls, along with gait and balance outcome measurements, to evaluate fall risk in older adults. Phase 3: Integrate the computational model in the design of a mobile app for wearable devices for older adults to self-administer fall risk assessments and provide individualized risk of fall information.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06508892

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06508892 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 100 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Michigan, which has 1,126 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Mass Screening appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which risk of fall is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06508892 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
