Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Co-developing a Bio-experiential Approach and Intervention to Support the Mental Health and Well-being of Dementia Patients and Their Caregivers at Home (TEND)
The goal of this project is to conduct an open pilot (N=5) among dyads (persons living with dementia and their caregivers) to assess the preliminary effects of an online videogame platform. The "Isle of TEND" is an immersive and interactive videogame platform designed for persons living with dementia and their caregivers. Dyads will use the platform three to four times a week for 20-30 minutes across four weeks. The investigators will assess for improvements in relationship satisfaction, wellbeing, and positive emotions and gather feedback on engagement in the platform. Dyads will complete measures at baseline and post-intervention as well as brief measures after each platform use.
The aim of this phase is to assess initial active engagement, sustained attention, and positive emotions of the "Isle of TEND" intervention platform. Our participants (N = 5 dyads) will be persons living with moderate-severe dementia and their caregivers in the Boston area. The intervention, "Isle of TEND" is an immersive and interactive videogame platform designed for persons living with dementia and their caregivers. Studio Elsewhere, a design and development team, developed the platform in consideration with feedback generated from focus groups and design workshops. Users navigate the online island and explore accompanying modules with varying audio and visual features. The platform aims to engage dyads in an enjoyable, shared, and "error-free" experience (i.e., creating poetry, viewing virtual art). Participants will use their personal "travel journal" after each platform session, in which they log engagement and positive emotion. Dyads are also encouraged to provide free response feedback on the platform. Once a week, dyads will record themselves as they use the platform. The investigators will conclude the pilot with exit interviews. Baseline and post intervention assessments will include self-reported measures including relationship satisfaction, wellbeing, and caregiver stress. The research team will engage in behavioral observation coding to assess active engagement. ;
