About this trial

The aim of the AUDACE study is to evaluate the 'Bien chez Moi 2.0' programme, to assess how, for whom and why do assistive devices, integrated with occupational therapy support, enable older people to remain at home, and under what conditions? The study assesses the impact on areas such as the degree of autonomy, the extent to which life goals are taken into account, the feeling of security at home, the use of hospital emergency services and the postponement of definitive institutionalisation in a nursing home. The expected results of this study are to be able to robustly describe the impact of the 'Bien chez moi 2.0' programme in the areas listed above.
