Summary

The study has 7 research questions regarding the use of the air quality sensor in residential care home for the elderly:

Primary study questions:

1. Can the real-time monitoring of air quality and the subsequent activities to improve air quality and long-term measures reduce respiratory symptoms?

Secondary study questions:
2. Can the real-time monitoring of air quality and the subsequent activities to improve air quality and long-term measures reduce pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure?
3. What are the activities to improve air quality and long-term measures that aim to improve air quality, including the rationales for change and non-change of the measures?
4. What are the changes in air quality indexes recorded by the air quality sensor?

Auxiliary study questions:
5. How many days do the residents feel sick and stay in hospitals?
6. What are the perceived benefits and feasibility of the air quality sensor?

Interventions

DEVICE

Air quality sensors

The air quality sensors detect air quality, including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, respirable suspended particulates (PM10 or PM2.5), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and formaldehyde (HCHO), which may influence health of residences. The managers of the service unit will decide the changes of activities to improve air quality and long-term measures based on the detected air quality indexes. The care staff will follow these decisions.
