A Mobile Informatics Solution to Aid in Memory
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Smartwatch Reminder (SR) system for Alzheimer Disease and Dementia. Completed, enrolled 162 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The researchers propose to develop an informatics system to assist people with memory impairment. Persons with Memory Concern (PWMC) recognize the faces they see daily, such as a spouse or caregiver, but they may confuse visiting friends and grandchildren or they may not match names with faces well. The inability to remember names or relationships contributes to isolation and deeply affects their social lives. The proposed solution is a Smartwatch Reminder (SR) system to conspicuously provide this information to the PWMC when needed. The system will be evaluated on the target persons with memory concern population to measure engagement and improvements in social interactions and quality of life.

Interventions
The Smartwatch Reminder (SR) system will automatically transmit pictures and relevant information, such as name or relationship, to a smartwatch worn by the PWMC when family or friends visit.
