Summary: This article examines AI driven frailty detection with an academic geriatric focus. It synthesizes EHR based frailty indices, sensor derived mobility metrics, and care planning implications for nursing teams.

Frailty predicts adverse outcomes in older adults but is underrecognized. AI can combine clinical data and mobility sensors to identify early frailty and trigger nursing led comprehensive geriatric assessment.

Technically systems use claims and EHR features, gait and activity metrics from wearables, and ensemble models to estimate frailty scores. Validation requires geriatric cohorts, prospective assessment of interventions triggered by alerts, and measurement of outcomes like falls and functional decline.

Guidance: Guidance: integrate frailty alerts into geriatric care pathways, co design assessment bundles, prioritize patient centered goals, and monitor for bias across socioeconomic and racial groups.

Conclusion: AI frailty detection supports proactive geriatric nursing care when validated and linked to actionable assessment and intervention pathways.
