Sense4Safety Intervention
NCT07220668 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Falls and fall-related injuries are significant public health issues for adults 65 years of age and older. Over a third of older adults (OA) fall each year and 10-20% of falls result in serious injuries such as fractures and head trauma. The annual direct medical costs in the US as a result of falls are estimated to exceed $50 billion, and this estimate does not include the indirect costs of disability, dependence, and decreased quality of life. This project targets community dwelling OA with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). MCI is a leading risk factor for falls in OA. Approximately 15%-20% of OA have MCI, and over 60% of OA with MCI fall annually - two to three times the rate of those without cognitive impairment. We have developed and pilot-tested an innovative technology-supported intervention called Sense4Safety to 1) identify escalating risk for falls real-time through in-home passive sensor monitoring; 2) employ machine learning to inform individualized alerts for fall risk; and 3) link 'at risk' older adults with a coach who will guide them in implementing evidence-based individualized plans to reduce fall-risk. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Sense4Safety in reducing fall risk with a randomized clinical trial, and understand implementation factors to improve the scalability of Sense4Safety in diverse community settings.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07220668
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07220668 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 1, 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 200 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Pennsylvania, which has 1,457 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 Mild Cognitive Impairment appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Sense4Safety 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: NCT07220668 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. 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.
