Funded Activity Summary

Keeping older people in hospital actively mobile is a vital objective of high quality aged care. Using accelerometers, the Centre for Research in Geriatric Medicine at the University of Queensland, and its partner, the CSIRO e-health Research Centre, are trialing a method of promoting activity in older rehabilitation patients. Potentially, a system of _activity management� could solve an age old problem in hospital care of older people.
