Technology-based tools, including remote activity monitoring (RAM) systems, have been proposed as valuable aids for family caregivers of people with dementia. Previous analyses have shown limited effects of these systems and highlighted a number of barriers, including false alarms. We used data from an ongoing embedded mixed method randomized controlled intervention to describe patterns of alerts and their association with receipt of the RAM system and caregiver outcomes. Quantitative analyses showed a modest positive association between the number of alerts during the first month and system review score. In addition, qualitative results illustrated the importance of alert context, including utility, accuracy, and type of alert delivery. These findings highlight the relevance of early alerts to engagement with and perceived benefit from the RAM system. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 47(1), 13-20.].
基于技术的工具，包括远程活动监测（RAM）系统，已被提议作为痴呆症患者家庭照顾者的有价值的辅助工具。之前的分析表明，这些系统的效果有限，并强调了许多障碍，包括误报。我们使用正在进行的嵌入式混合方法随机对照干预的数据来描述警报模式及其与 RAM 系统和护理人员结果的关系。定量分析显示，第一个月的警报数量与系统审查评分之间存在适度的正相关。此外，定性结果说明了警报上下文的重要性，包括警报的实用性、准确性和传递类型。这些发现强调了早期警报与 RAM 系统的参与度和感知收益之间的相关性。[老年护理杂志，47（1），13-20。]。
