Insights on Recruitment, Implementation, and Movement Pattern Detection by Exploring the Feasibility of Sensor-Based Insole Technology in Long-Term Care: Mixed Methods Feasibility Study

This feasibility study demonstrates that sensor-based footwear is technically feasible and shows situational acceptability in long-term care, while also highlighting key contextual constraints related to recruitment, workflow integration, device handling, and adherence. The findings provide early empirical evidence on what is practically achievable in this population and setting, clarifying the exploratory nature and methodological necessity of using simulated agitation patterns, and underscoring the need for context-sensitive, participatory strategies when introducing sensor-based technologies into dementia care.
