Brief Summary

Test the usability, perceptions and acceptability of a computer monitor for participant diagnosed with ADRD and their caregiver who will program the applications specifically for each individual to help them remember activities of daily living. Goal is to keep participants in their homes longer and delay the need for institutional care

Conditions

Anxiety; Depression; Caregiver Burnout; Anxiety Generalized

Keywords

Alzheimer's disease; Dementia; Caregiving; Caregiver; Anxiety; Telehealth

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Usability

  Satisfaction and use of the monitor and apps using the Usability Scale, a validated 10-item scale sithe items suchs as "learning to use the calendar function was quick for me", using a 5 point response scale (0= strongly disagree to 5= strongly agree) Usability Scale, a validated 10-item scale (e.g. "Learning to use Calendar function was quick for me" using a 5-point response scale (0=strongly disagree to 5= strongly agree)

Study Arms (1)

1 Test the usability, perceptions, and acceptability of R/S

EXPERIMENTAL

Dyads will use the R/S unit for 90 days, unless they request it to be removed prior to the end of the study. . The primary outcome is a caregiver-assessed measure usability.
