项目摘要/摘要 鉴于每年有大量痴呆症患者(PWD)进入长期护理(LTC)环境，以及 在这一过程中出现的问题及其随后适应新的生活情况，有必要 一个以人为中心的计划，既改善了过渡本身，又帮助残疾人适应他们的新环境。 这项第一阶段研究将涉及一款名为All的创新跨平台软件应用程序的初步开发和评估 关于我(AAM)，这将包括严重的数字健康游戏(SDHGs)的PWD。AAM应用程序将帮助员工 提供以人为本的护理，使住院医生能够改善彼此之间以及与工作人员的关系，从而 促进社区意识。 AAM应用程序的上市版本将由五个组件组成。(1)关于我的有趣的事实游戏将是 当PWD移动到LTC时使用。PWD的家庭成员将与他们患有痴呆症的亲属玩这个游戏。这个 游戏的目的是为家庭成员和残疾人提供一种愉快的方式来提供关于 残障人士的社会历史、个人兴趣和护理偏好。(2)居民游戏捆绑包将由以下SDHG组成 将让残疾人士以一种愉快的方式相互了解。游戏内容将根据以下条件自动创建 在关于我的有趣事实游戏期间收集的数据。(3)我的住客单元将为员工提供便利的方式 查看有关他们将与之共事的残疾人的信息。工作人员将从任何设备启动此模块，包括 一款面向市场的智能手表。(4)未来将开发和测试的Meet the Staff模块 第二阶段研究，将允许居民了解他们社区的工作人员，从而改善关系 工作人员和残障人士之间的联系。(5)AAM培训模块将为工作人员和家属提供访问 基于视频的培训模块，介绍如何使用应用程序的相关部分。 这项第一阶段研究有三个具体目标，将由三个项目小组在12个月的时间内完成。 目标1.开发AAM应用程序的Alpha版本。软件团队和内容团队将协同工作 在项目的1-7个月内完成目标1。他们将创作(1)关于我的有趣的事实游戏和一首单曲 居民游戏捆绑游戏，(2)我的居民模块的两类信息，以及(3)阿尔法版本的 工作人员和家属培训单元。AAM应用程序的开发将是迭代的，并由咨询公司通知 由工作人员、家庭成员和残疾人组成的小组。 目标2.检查AAM应用程序的可接受性和满意度。 目标3.研究常驻游戏包/调查称游戏对参与度/情感的影响。 实验团队将通过与24名残疾人、12名工作人员和24个家庭进行准实验来实现目标2和3 会员在8-11个月。在最初的4周基准期之后，员工和PWD将被要求使用AAM应用程序 在9-10个月期间，家庭成员将在9个月期间至少玩一次关于我的趣事游戏。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Given the large number of persons with dementia (PWD) who move into long-term care (LTC) settings each year, and the issues that arise during both this process and their subsequent adaptation to the new living situation, there is a need for a person-centered program to improve both the transition itself and to assist PWD in adapting to their new environment. This Phase I study will involve initial development and evaluation of an innovative cross-platform software app called All About Me (AAM), which will consist of Serious Digital Health Games (SDHGs) for PWD. The AAM App will assist staff in providing person-centered care and enable residents to improve relationships with one another and with staff, thereby promoting a sense of community. The market-ready version of the AAM App will consist of five components. (1) The Fun Facts About Me Game will be used when a PWD is moving into LTC. Family members of PWD will play this game with their relative with dementia. The goal of the game is to provide an enjoyable way for family members and PWD to provide important information about the PWD's social history, personal interests, and care preferences. (2) The Resident Game Bundle will consist of SDHGs that will allow PWD to learn about one another in an enjoyable way. Game content will be automatically created, based upon data collected during the Fun Facts About Me Game. (3) The My Residents Module will provide staff with a convenient way to view information about a PWD with whom they will be working. Staff will launch this module from any device, including a smartwatch in the market-ready version. (4) The Meet the Staff Module, which will be developed and tested in a future Phase II study, will allow residents to learn about staff members at their community, thereby improving relationships between staff members and PWD. (5) The AAM Training Modules will provide staff and family members with access to video-based training modules that describe how to use relevant portions of the app. This Phase I study has three Specific Aims, which will be completed by three project teams over the course of 12 months. Aim 1. Develop an Alpha version of the AAM App. The Software Team and Content Team will work collaboratively to complete Aim 1 during Months 1-7 of the project. They will create (1) The Fun Facts About Me Game and a single Resident Game Bundle game, (2) Two categories of information for the My Residents Module, and (3) Alpha versions of staff and family member Training Modules. Development of the AAM App will be iterative and be informed by Advisory Panels of staff members, family members, and PWD. Aim 2. Examine acceptability of and satisfaction with the AAM App. Aim 3. Examine the impact of the Resident Game Bundle / Survey Says Game on engagement/affect. The Experimental Team will meet Aims 2 and 3 by conducting a quasi-experiment with 24 PWD, 12 Staff, and 24 Family Members during Months 8-11. After an initial 4-week Baseline Period, staff and PWD will be asked to use the AAM App during Months 9-10, while family members will play The Fun Facts About Me Game at least once during Month 9.
