Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

The goal of this Stage 1 (NIH Stage Model) Intervention Development cross-site project is to develop, using a user-centered design approach, and evaluate an innovative intelligent adaptive software package aimed at providing cognitive and social support and engagement to older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The system will be designed to adapt to the needs and abilities of the user. The investigator's goal is to develop a unique and highly innovative technology tool that can provide adaptive support to aging individuals with MCI, even as cognition might deteriorate further. Speech data collected as part of an embedded reminiscence feature will advance fundamental knowledge of how speech and language production data might serve as an early indicator of cognitive decline.

  Participants will receive a tablet with the adaptive program and be provided with internet service following the baseline assessment. Participants will receive a 3-day training in their home that will include basic tablet/internet training and training on the features of the system. The training will also encompass a module on internet etiquette and security against potential spam and fraud. Participants will be provided with practice tasks in between sessions. Participants will be provided with a "hands-on" performance assessment at the end of the second session and concepts/procedures that are problematic will be reviewed.
