The REmote Assessment of older adults in a Care HomE Setting (REACHES) project is an observational study to determine the feasibility and acceptability of conducting a clinical trial within a residential care home setting. The focus of this study is to evaluate the practicalities and burden on both the site and the individual care home residents when conducting a variety of longitudinal assessments using mobile and wearable technologies within the care home setting. Assessments include instrumented performance tests using wearable devices (Performance Outcomes (PerfOs), electronic patient reported outcomes (ePRO), and daily assessment of activity and sleep and heartrate using a wearable device.
