Trial Outcomes & Findings for In-Home Technology for Caregivers of People With Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment (NCT NCT04206670)
NCT ID: NCT04206670
Last Updated: 2022-05-10
Results Overview
Questionnaire to measure depression (Radloff, 1977). 20 items are rated on a 0-3 scale and summed (range = 0-60). There are no subscales. Higher scores represent worse outcomes. The clinical cut-off is usually set at a score of 16.

In-Home Technology System
Participants will receive and install the full system (sensors for entry, activity, temperature, water leak; voice control; digital display; local router) in their homes. Remote assistance will be provided to help with the installation. Sensors, warnings, messaging, and social networking features will be activated remotely. Participation will extend over a six month period with questionnaires (e.g., health and well-being) administered 3 times (at the time of installation and every 3 months thereafter).
In-Home Technology System and Questionnaires: Participants self-install the in-home technology system in their homes after enrollment in the study (i.e., consent procedures and initial questionnaire). Intelligent bots monitor the in-home sensors, learn typical patterns, and provide caregivers with text messages via cell phone and alerts via the tablet when worrisome behaviors occur. Social contact is encouraged using caregiver resources and a trusted circle of friends and family who are encouraged to stay in contact with the caregiver and person with dementia or mild cognitive impairment.
|
Waiting Control
Participants will be assigned to receive and install the full system (sensors for entry, activity, temperature, water leak; voice control; digital display; local router) after they enter the study. During a 6-month period, questionnaires (e.g., health and well-being) will be administered 3 times (at the start of the study and every 3 months thereafter). Remote assistance will be provided to help with the installation. Sensors, warnings, messaging, and social networking features will be activated remotely. Participation will extend over an additional 6-month period with questionnaires (e.g., health and well-being) administered 2 times (every 3 months following installation).
Waiting Control In-Home Technology System and Questionnaires: Participants self-install the in-home technology system in their homes six months after their enrollment in the study (i.e., consent procedures and initial questionnaire). Intelligent bots monitor the in-home sensors, learn typical patterns, and provide caregivers with text messages via cell phone and alerts via the tablet when worrisome behaviors occur. Social contact is encouraged using caregiver resources and a trusted circle of friends and family who are encouraged to stay in contact with the caregiver and person with dementia or mild cognitive impairment.
