Long-term cognitive follow-up is often absent in standard care. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for remote monitoring tailored to aging populations. Therefore, this study presented a web-based platform, developed under World Health Organization’s Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework and evaluated at Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL-6). The objective of this study was to design and commission the development of the web application, and to assess its feasibility among older surgical patients within a clinical setting. The study was conducted in two phases: system development based on literature-guided risk factors and ICOPE principles, and a prospective cohort study to evaluate feasibility by assessing data completeness, user input capability, and follow-up adherence after surgery. Patients aged ≥60 years who underwent elective surgery under anesthesia were enrolled. Exclusion criteria were included having severe sensory deficits or inability to use a smartphone. POCD was defined as a ≥2-point decline in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score from baseline. This study found the platform featured (1) communication via a LINE official account (LINE OA), (2) risk screening with tailored educational video clips, and (3) automated reminders for postoperative assessments. Ten participants (mean age 70.90 ± 6.14 years; 70% female) were recruited between April and July 2024. Retention rates were 100% at 1 week and 70% at 3 months. POCD was observed in 2 of 10 participants at 1 week and 2 of 7 of participants at 3 months postoperatively. In conclusions, this TRL-6 pilot shows the feasibility of integrating a digital cognitive tool into perioperative care, with potential to enhance follow-up and early POCD detection in older patients.</p> Chayanit Techaarreerat Thanwalai Pisalayon Chanisara Thaomueangjai Arunotai Siriussawakul Nipaporn Sangarunakul Chalita Jiraphorncharas Phongchai Petsanghan Patumporn Suraarunsumrit Copyright (c) 2026 Archives of Allied Health Sciences https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-04-08 2026-04-08 38 1 1 17 https://he01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ams/article/view/283902 <p>Broth microdilution (BMD) is the reference method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) for determining colistin susceptibility testing; however, its routine implementation in clinical laboratories remains challenging due to factors such as storage conditions and technical variability. To provide a more practical and standardized approach, this study evaluated the stability of pre-diluted colistin stored at -20°C in a 96-well microdilution plate format. Serial twofold dilutions of colistin in Mueller-Hinton broth were prepared, frozen, and tested at 15-day intervals over 90 days using <em>Klebsiella pneumoniae</em> (colistin-resistant clinical isolate), <em>Acinetobacter baumannii</em> (colistinintermediate isolate), and <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> ATCC27853 (quality control strain). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined according to CLSI guidelines to monitor changes in antimicrobial activity during storage. The MIC values of all strains remained consistent throughout the 90-day period, indicating that colistin retained its biological activity under frozen storage. These findings demonstrate that colistin microdilution plates stored at -20 °C remain stable and reliable for at least three months, offering laboratories a convenient and reproducible method for preparing ready-to-use colistin BMD plates to support standardized susceptibility testing.</p> Aschana Tirapattanun Pintip Suchartlikitwong Sunisa Chirakul Copyright (c) 2026 Archives of Allied Health Sciences https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-04-08 2026-04-08 38 1 18 25
