- ActiveHip+ is a digital solution developed in a European project led by the University of Granada and the Andalusian Health Service to aid in the recovery of elderly people who have suffered a hip fracture.
- The intervention is delivered through a mobile application that offers a three-month health education and rehabilitation programme, allowing patients to recover at home with constant support from healthcare professionals.
- Carmen, a patient who suffered a hip fracture, regained her mobility and daily routine thanks to ActiveHip+, with her daughter playing a key role in supporting her through the app.
- The app not only helps physical recovery but also improves emotional wellbeing, as seen in Carmen’s case, reducing the burden on carers.
- A study published in eClinicalMedicine highlights the benefits of ActiveHip+ in transforming rehabilitation for older adults with hip fractures, with educational resources available at https://www.activehipplus.com.
