目的技术的使用（例如，远程保健）在临床环境中的使用迅速增加，在研究环境中的使用继续增长。本报告的目的是提出一个潜在的解决方案，以失语症（PWA）患者的口语研究为目的的虚拟和远程评估的临床问题。要做到这一点，我们报告详细的方法进行多时间点（重测）的虚拟范例，评估生活方式，生理，认知和语言因素的人与无aphasia.MethodProcedures虚拟评估的详细样本中的成年人没有脑损伤（N= 24）和PWA（N= 25）的重测范例（数据收集约10 ± 3天间隔）。本报告提供了有关预评估的实用信息（例如，招募，调度），评估（例如，对失语症友好的同意陈述，研究者忠诚度），和后评估（例如，数据存储，质量检查）程序的人类行为研究使用虚拟platform.ResultsPreliminary研究数据提供，表明高保留率，高数据采集率，和可行性。对常见的工艺故障及解决方法进行了讨论，并提出了解决方法.结果表明，我们的预评估，评估，和后评估程序有助于我们的study.ConclusionsWe的成功提供了一个实用的方法进行多时间点的研究，考虑PWA，增加到身体的远程医疗研究在临床人群。未来的研究应继续评估远程方法学，这可能是多样化研究、提高研究保留率和招募更大样本量的核心。补充材料https：doi.org/10.23641/asha.14608101
PurposeThe use of technology (e.g., telehealth) in clinical settings has rapidly increased, and its use in research settings continues to grow. The aim of this report is to present one potential solution to a clinical issue that of virtual and remote assessment for the purposes of spoken language research in persons with aphasia (PWA). To do so, we report detailed methods for conducting a multitimepoint (test–retest) virtual paradigm, assessing lifestyle, physiological, cognitive, and linguistic factors in persons with and without aphasia.MethodProcedures for virtual assessment are detailed in a sample of adults with no brain damage (N= 24) and PWA (N= 25) on a test–retest paradigm (data collection approximately 10 ± 3 days apart). This report provides practical information about pre-assessment (e.g., recruitment, scheduling), assessment (e.g., aphasia-friendly consent presentation, investigator fidelity), and postassessment (e.g., data storage, quality check) procedures for human behavior research using a virtual platform.ResultsPreliminary study data are provided, indicating high retention rates, high rates of data acquisition, and feasibility. Common technological troubles and solutions are discussed, and solutions are offered. The results suggest that our pre-assessment, assessment, and postassessment procedures contributed to the success of our study.ConclusionsWe provide a practical methodology for conducting a multitimepoint study, with considerations for PWA, adding to the body of research on telehealth in clinical populations. Future studies should continue to evaluate telemethodology, which may be core for diversifying studies, improving study retention, and enrolling larger sample sizes.Supplemental Materialhttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.14608101
