Abstract

Abstract 5.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease or some form of dementia and by mid-century, the number of people living with dementia in the United States is projected to grow to 13.8 million. About half of the persons with dementia currently live at home, 43% require occasional support, 47% daily support, and 10% continuous support; with most of this support provided by informal family caregivers. Caregivers face on-going significant risk throughout the ebb and flow of providing care, as care recipients may lose grasp of their understanding of their circumstances, relying heavily on caregivers for all aspects of support. This support includes prompting and cueing through the multi-step instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) such as meal preparation and house-keeping which require complex cognitive processing and are cognitively demanding. This paper describes the preliminary pilot study work laying the groundwork for ongoing development of a cognitive assistive technology (CAT) to support IADLs in dementia homecare. Through a user-centered design methodology, an online survey for caregivers identified areas of the home with the highest levels of IADL needs, aiding in the development of an 800 sq ft mock-up apartment for preliminary testing of the mobile interface for the CAT tool.

认知辅助技术移动界面的实验室开发，以支持痴呆症家庭护理中日常生活的工具活动

摘要550万美国人患有阿尔茨海默病或某种形式的痴呆症，到本世纪中叶，美国痴呆症患者人数预计将增至1380万。目前约有一半的痴呆症患者住在家中，43%需要偶尔的支持，47%需要日常支持，10%需要持续支持；其中大部分支持由非正式的家庭照顾者提供。在提供护理的整个过程中，护理人员面临着持续的重大风险，因为护理人员可能会失去对自己情况的理解，严重依赖护理人员提供各个方面的支持。这种支持包括通过日常生活的多步骤工具性活动（IADL）进行提示和提示，如做饭和持家，这些活动需要复杂的认知处理，对认知要求很高。本文描述了初步的试点研究工作，为正在进行的认知辅助技术（CAT）的开发奠定了基础，以支持痴呆症家庭护理中的IADL。通过以用户为中心的设计方法，一项针对护理人员的在线调查确定了家庭中IADL需求最高的区域，帮助开发了一套800平方英尺的模拟公寓，用于CAT工具移动界面的初步测试。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
