简要总结
A study to investigate the effectiveness of a reminder tool application at increasing performance on memory tasks in people with mild dementia
详细描述
Background
Memory difficulties are a core feature of dementia. These include difficulties remembering to do something at a specific time and place in the future (Prospective Memory). Although a range of electronic prospective memory aids currently exist (e.g. "Neuropage"), the evidence supporting their use among the dementia population remains limited. "Mindmate" is a recently developed mobile application that aims to support individuals with a diagnosis of dementia, improving self-management skills and quality of life.
Aims
This study will explore the effectiveness of "MindMate" reminder alerts delivered to a smart phone or tablet computer as a memory aid for people with a diagnosis of Mild Dementia.
