Isla for Frailty: Seeing if a visual record helps
This study is testing a new platform that uses visual records (like photos or videos) to help care teams better support older adults with frailty. If you are 65 or older and currently in the hospital's elderly care ward, researchers want to see if this tool improves communication and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a patient on the Medicine for the Elderly ward at St Mary’s Hospital
- The care team considers you frail or at risk of frailty
- You can agree to join the study yourself, or a family member or friend can help decide for you

This trial looks at ways to help “frailty” (low strength and resilience) in people staying in intensive care units. It mainly enrolls adults who expect to be in the ICU for more than 24 hours, and it tries to avoid people whose mobility problems have other causes.
This study tests a program to help identify and manage health issues in older adults who are moderately frail. If you are 60 or older and a patient at a participating polyclinic, the program may help you stay independent and healthy.
This study tests if a home-based exercise program, supported by a smartphone or tablet, can help frail older adults get stronger and more independent. It may be a good fit if you are frail but can still walk and use a smart device.
This study looks at something called 'visual frailty' in older adults with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It aims to develop a tool to better understand how vision loss affects daily life and overall health in people aged 60 and over.
This study looks at how to help older adults with frailty and their doctors make decisions together after a hip fracture. It takes place at University Hospital Southampton and aims to improve care and communication.
