SPEEKO for Elderspeak: A Self-Monitoring App to Improve Communication and Reduce Behavioral Symptoms in Care for Persons With Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Speeko for Elderspeak for Dementia and Staff Attitude. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will test feasibility and preliminary effects of an automated and performance-based feedback app (Speeko for Elderspeak) that detects and reports the use of diminutives (terms of endearment such as honey, dearie, and sweetie), prevalent elderspeak terms linked to BPSD. Building on proof of concept established in the laboratory, the app will demonstrate feasibility at the point-of-care. Next, a clinical trial (N= 6NHs) will be conducted to test preliminary efficacy of the app for amplifying reductions in diminutives use for NH staff completing the CHATO training (3 online modules).
