Study summary

Alzheimer's disease and related diseases (ADRD) are a major public health issue. In France, nearly 900,000 people have ADRD, which represents about 70% of dementia cases, and the expected prevalence for 2020 is 1.2 million.

Patients with ADRD have cognitive, behavioral and functional impairments that lead to progressive impairment of quality of life and autonomy. Maintaining them at home depends predominantly on their caregivers, mainly family, spouse or child. By definition, the caregiver is "the person who provides partial or total support to an elderly dependent person or a person with a disability in the vicinity of the victim for the activities of daily life".

The investment of caregivers is therefore both human and financial, representing a greater or lesser burden. This burden can significantly affect their quality of life. Indeed, studies have shown that caregivers suffer from depletion, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders resulting in a deterioration of their health, leading them to greater care consumption. They would be more prone to cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

A review of the literature from 2009 examined 66 studies evaluating the contribution of various technologies targeting demented patients and their caregivers. Of these, only 10 dealt with independence at home and the well-being of the patient and his / her caregiver. The main limitations of these studies are the small samples (ranging from 1 to 6 patients), the degree of cognitive degradation (mainly moderately severe) and the lack of standardized assessment.

Although new technologies promise powerful home-based solutions, studies evaluating their efficacy for patients with ADRD and their caregivers remain scarce and fragile at the level of evidence due to methodological biases.

Read the detailed description

Description of the intervention: Lili Smart solution consists of an application for caregivers (web / mobile), a GSM watch worn by the patient, smart sensors placed at different locations of the patient's home and a support service 24 / 24 and 7/7.

Objectives: The main objective is to evaluate the impact of the Lili Smart solution on the burden felt by caregivers of patients with ADRD at 3 months and at 6 months of follow-up.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate the impact of the Lili Smart solution at 3 months and 6 months of follow-up on:

  • The anxiety of the caregiver of the patient with ADRD;
  • Depression of the caregiver of the patient with ADRD;
  • The quality of life of the caregiver of the patient with ADRD;
  • The quality of life of the patient with ADRD,
  • The level of functional autonomy of the patient with ADRD.
  • The risks associated with the functional decline (falls, run aways) of the patient with ADRD.

In addition to the social impact measurement, the study aims to demonstrate the medico-economic impact of Lili smart solution as follow:

  • The direct and indirect medical costs of the patient and the caregiver.

Patient and caregiver adherence to the Lili Smart solution will also be assessed as a secondary objective.

Methodology : This study is an interventional research on the human person meeting the definition 1 ° of article L1121-1 of the CSP and not relating to the products mentioned in article L. 5311-1 It is a randomized, controlled, single-blind, parallel-group, interventional, randomized, controlled trial in N = 60 patients and their primary caregiver with an observational phase (inactive device), and one interventional phase (activated device).

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Feb 2018 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2019, 19 months after the start.

Of 882 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Alzheimer Disease, half reached primary completion within 30 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 51. This study's planned 19 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 959 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 51.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 13, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
