Declarations

:

: This study was funded by a project grant (1082197) from the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia.

: Previously, there was a patent filed (mid-2013) by Drs Ranasinghe and Visvanathan titled, “System, method, software application and data signal for determining movement” but this has since lapsed. Professor Visvanathan is the Head of Unit of the Aged & Extended Care Services at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in South Australia within which the GEMU ward is a service. Professor Visvanathan is providing advice to Live 24/7, a start-up based in San Jose, USA. Dr Dollard was awarded The Hospital Research Foundation Research Travel Award and Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (University of Adelaide) Research Travel Award in 2017 to attend AmbIGeM related meetings. The remaining authors declare no other conflicts of interest.

: CP and JK designed and conducted the economic evaluation and value of information analysis, and contributed to the cost data collection, data interpretation and drafting of the manuscript. MS and EW contributed to the design and interpretation of the value of information analysis and drafting of the manuscript. RV and KH equally contributed to the study design, selecting participating sites, conducting the research, data collection, data interpretation and drafting of the manuscript. DR contributed to the technology design and implementation, conducting the research, data collection, data interpretation and drafting of the manuscript. KL designed and conducted the statistical analysis and contributed to interpretation and drafting of the manuscript. JD and AW were involved in the conduct of the study, data collection, data interpretation and drafting the manuscript.

: Requests for health economics data should be directed to the senior author (jonathan.karnon@flinders.edu.au) and will require collaboration with the chief investigator team. Any requests will be assessed for scientific rigor (by a panel consisting of JK, RV, KH and DR) and given the involvement of hospital patient data, the request must first meet ethics request guidelines and be approved by the ethics committees of TQEH/Lyell McEwin Hospital (LMH)/Modbury Hospital (MH), Curtin University, and SCGH. The requestor will be responsible for preparing documentation to the standard required to meet the conditions of the various ethics committees. A data sharing agreement will be necessary and funding requested for facilitation of this process and provision of data. Given the multiple analyses planned as well as underway currently, data sharing is at this stage embargoed for a further 2 years.

: Ethics and governance approval was granted by the TQEH/Lyell McEwin Hospital /Modbury Hospital (HREC/15/TQEH/17), Curtin University (HRE2017-0449) and SCGH (PRN 2015-110).
