Brief Summary

In the last ten years, gerontechnology is becoming an increasing topic in geriatric medicine. Nevertheless, there are still few studies assessing the usability of technologies in old patients, especially when they are hospitalized. Moreover, it has been shown that new technologies could be a source of ageism, thence the importance of involving the old people in the development of these technologies. Tik easy is a subsidiary of La Poste Company. Tik easy as designed a new tablet PC for old people. Research tends to show that the use of tablet PC can promote health and well-aging, and delay cognitive decline. In this study, we want to give a free access to "Ardoiz", the tablet PC designed by Tik easy, for old patients hospitalized in a geriatric acute care unit. The "Ardoiz" tablet PC allows to:

• Maintain the family and social bond (send and receive messages, share photos and videos, call remotely between the patient and his family)
• Discovering the Internet at his own pace (browse the Internet with daily updated contents such as news, content on cooking, music, etc.).
• Prevent cognitive aging (stimulate cognitive abilities with the DYNSEO games).
• Facilitate online administrative procedures.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Usability of the Ardoiz® tablet PC

  The usability will be assessed using the validated System Usability Scale (SUS). The mean score obtained by users will be calculated. "Ardoiz" will be considered as usable if the mean score on the SUS is equal or over 70 on 100.

  During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Satisfaction of the users following the use of the Ardoiz® tablet PC.

  During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital

• Frequency of use of the Ardoiz® tablet PC by elderly hospitalized patients.

  During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital

• Most appreciated ergonomic elements for the users

  During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital

• Improvement areas regarding the ergonomics of the Ardoiz® tablet PC.

  During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital

• Improvement areas regarding the functions of the Ardoiz® tablet PC.

  During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital

Study Arms (3)

old patients

Patient will freely use "Ardoiz" during their hospitalisation for a maximum of 9 days. After this use, a survey concerning the usability of "Ardoiz" will be administered to the patient, before their discharge from hospital.

Other: usability assessment

relatives / unformal caregivers

Unformal caregivers will freely use "Ardoiz" during the hospitalization of their relatives and a maximum of 9 days. After this use, a survey concerning the usability of "Ardoiz" will be administered to the unformal caregivers, before the discharge of their hospitalized relatives from hospital.

Other: usability assessment

profesionnal caregivers

After the inclusion of all expected patients and relatives, a survey concerning the usability of "Ardoiz" will be administered to professional caregivers.

Other: usability assessment

Interventions

usability assessment OTHER

Usability of "ardoiz" will be assesse using a validated usability questionnary

old patients; profesionnal caregivers; relatives / unformal caregivers
