The SmartPrompt2 iPhone app was designed according to a neuropsychological framework, empirical data, and participant feedback to support efficient completion of everyday tasks at home by sending personalized prompts to participants' smartphones. Feasibility, efficacy in the home environment, and usability were examined in ten participants with MCI or mild dementia and their care-partners (NCT04313582). Participants and care-partners identified two individually relevant tasks for the participant to complete for two weeks with the SmartPrompt2 app (SP condition) two weeks without it (Control condition; order counterbalanced). SmartPrompt2 alerted them to complete daily tasks at times specified by the participant/care-partner using personalized images, audio, rewards, and motivational and logging features targeting common errors. Care-partners reported significantly higher task completion and lower burden during the SP condition versus Control. There was no significant difference in participants' average frustration between conditions. Usability ratings were high at the end of the study, and all participants requested to keep the app. Larger and longer effectiveness studies are needed, but preliminary data support the feasibility, efficacy and usability of the SmartPrompt2 for improving everyday function in older adults with cognitive impairments.Trial Registration: NCT04313582.
SmartPrompt2 iPhone应用程序是根据神经心理学框架、实证数据和参与者反馈设计的,通过向参与者的智能手机发送个性化提示,支持在家高效完成日常任务。在10名患有轻度认知障碍(MCI)或轻度痴呆症的参与者及其护理伙伴中,对其可行性、在家环境中的有效性和可用性进行了研究(临床试验注册号:NCT04313582)。参与者和护理伙伴为参与者确定了两项个人相关任务,使用SmartPrompt2应用程序完成两周(SP组),不使用该应用程序两周(对照组;顺序平衡)。SmartPrompt2会使用个性化图像、音频、奖励以及针对常见错误的激励和记录功能,提醒他们在参与者/护理伙伴指定的时间完成日常任务。与对照组相比,护理伙伴报告在SP组中任务完成率显著更高,负担更低。两组之间参与者的平均挫败感没有显著差异。在研究结束时,可用性评分很高,所有参与者都要求保留该应用程序。需要进行更大规模和更长时间的有效性研究,但初步数据支持SmartPrompt2在改善有认知障碍的老年人日常功能方面的可行性、有效性和可用性。试验注册:NCT04313582。
