Usability Study of Spaced Retrieval Exercise Using Mobile Devices for Alzheimer's Disease Rehabilitation

The focus of this work is to explore the use of modern mobile technology to enable people with Alzheimer's disease to improve their abilities to perform activities of daily living and hence to promote independence and participation in social activities. This work also aims at reducing the burden on caregivers by increasing the AD patients' sense of competence and ability to handle behavior problems.

About this study

The investigators developed ADcope, an integrated application that includes several modules that target individuals with Alzheimer's disease , using mobile devices. The investigators developed two different user interfaces: a text-based and a graphic-based. To evaluate the usability of the application, participants with early stages of AD were asked to run the two user interfaces of the spaced retrieval memory exercise using a tablet mobile device.

Primary outcomes

  1. NASA Task Load Index Measure

    Time frame: 1 hour

    NASA-TLX is a multi-dimensional rating procedure that derives an overall workload score based on a weighted average of ratings on six subscales. These subscales include Mental Demands, Physical Demands, Temporal Demands, Own Performance, Effort, and Frustration.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Test Score

    Time frame: 1 Hour

    Test score measures the percentage of questions answered by the participants correctly from the first trial.
