Description
Courtney Kennedy and co-authors validate a phone app for frailty assessment in older adults in a 2025 study. The guided app scores frailty and muscle weakness across medical history, strength, thinking, nutrition, daily function, and social domains. It returns a total score plus risk flags to guide care, and it is freely available.
Community dwelling adults over sixty five used the app during geriatric clinic visits, helped by a nurse. Clinicians completed a paper frailty index from a full assessment at the same visit. Agreement between the app score and the clinic standard was the main validation test, alongside usability checks.
