Project: Developing a smart self-assessment “Fatigability in Outcomes to monitor Resilience Targets in Older persons” measurement system

Acronym	FORTO (Reference Number: aal-2019-6-165-SCP)
Duration	01/02/2020 - 01/11/2020
Project Topic	FORTO is a new tool allowing to (self)test the level of muscle fatigability as measure for intrinsic capacity and resilience. WHO states that an essential condition to achieve healthy ageing is a sufficient intrinsic capacity, which is the composite of all the physical and mental capacities that an individual can draw on. Unfortunately, the current health systems and technologies available focus on diagnosis when symptoms or age related problems like frailty and dependency are already a fact. The concept of FORTO is exactly to avoid this and to develop a device that measures the capacity to recruit reserves available in persons, acting as an early warning system for diminishing resistance to and delayed recovery from health stressors. All end-users are involved in the process including community-dwelling older persons, hospitalized older patients and clinicians.
