Project Summary Abstract The MapHabit System (MHS) is our neuroscience-based interactive care management platform that utilizes a patented visual mapping system supported by smart devices to improve cognition and reinforce routine habits in individuals living with AD/ADRD. The MHS approach relies on the discovery that certain regions of the brain that underlie habit and procedural learning are spared during the course of AD/ADRD, and these regions can help maintain activities of daily living (ADLs). Unmet needs addressed by the technical innovation for this FastTrack: Caregiving is commonly acknowledged as one of the most stressful, under-recognized, under-paid, and under-supported jobs. The new MHS+Caregiver Training Program (CTP) will offer key innovative feature to enhance the caregivers’ own quality of life, which, in turn, will result in reduced turnover and reduced caregiver-related cost burdens in all types of care settings, hospital systems, and for payers and providers. This will make MHS a unique mHealth product in the AD/ADRD community and will increase its market competitiveness, attract in-home users and be especially appealing to memory care facilities that are concerned with achieving measurable improvements in managing caregiver burden. The CTP will feature innovative components designed to directly support caregivers in their role, including self-paced learning starting with understanding the caregiver’s knowledge and skill level; interactive live coaching sessions; easy to use caregiver-centric dashboards to share information, and social networking capabilities to promote social support and community building. Phase I, Aim 1, will build out the CTP into the MHS platform. Phase I, Aim 2, will assess usability, acceptability and feasibility of the CTP using iterative usability studies involving 15 caregiver/patient dyads to determine optimal user experience, and modify the build accordingly. Phase II, Aim 1, we’ll build out enhanced user support modules to improve the CTP experience, including visual map games to increase caregiver self- awareness, motivation, and learning, social networks to provide social support connection to other caregivers, and a caregiver-centric dashboard for caregivers to track their own stress and well-being, as well as key patient performance measures. Phase II, Aim 2, will assess usability, acceptability and feasibility of the enhanced CTP features. Phase II, Aim 3, we’ll conduct a RCT (n=50 caregiver/patient dyads) to determine if adding the CTP to the MHS leads to enhanced caregiver and patient outcomes compared to the MHS alone. We hypothesize that enhancing caregiver knowledge and social and emotional support will improve caregiver quality of life, which will, in turn, improve the patient’s overall quality of care and functional status. The primary data driven outcome will be caregiver quality of life. Patient care, determined by the MHS and standardized cognitive assessments as well as self-reported caregiver and patient satisfaction will be assessed as well. This integrative, easy to use caregiver-centric training program will be unique to the caregiver market.

项目摘要 MapHabit系统（MHS）是我们基于神经科学的交互式护理管理平台， 智能设备支持的专利视觉映射系统，可提高认知能力并强化日常习惯 在AD/ADRD患者中。MHS方法依赖于大脑某些区域的发现 在AD/ADRD过程中，基础习惯和程序性学习得以保留，这些区域可以 帮助维持日常生活活动（ADL）。技术创新解决了未满足的需求， 快速通道：护理通常被认为是压力最大、认识不足、报酬最低的工作之一， 和支持不足的工作。新的MHS+护理人员培训计划（CTP）将提供关键的创新功能 提高照顾者自己的生活质量，这反过来又会导致减少营业额， 所有类型的护理环境、医院系统以及付款人和提供者的与患者相关的成本负担。 这将使MHS成为AD/ADRD社区中独特的mHealth产品，并将增加其市场 竞争力，吸引家庭用户，特别是吸引记忆保健设施， 关注在管理照顾者负担方面取得可衡量的改善。CTP将以 创新的组成部分，旨在直接支持照顾者的作用，包括自定进度的学习 从了解护理人员的知识和技能水平开始;互动式现场指导课程;简单 使用以用户为中心的仪表板来共享信息，并使用社交网络功能来促进社交 支持和社区建设。 第一阶段，目标1，将把现金转拨方案纳入MHS平台。第一阶段，目标2，将评估可用性， CTP的可接受性和可行性，使用迭代可用性研究，涉及15个护理人员/患者配对， 确定最佳用户体验，并相应地修改构建。第二阶段，目标1，我们将加强 用户支持模块，以改善CTP体验，包括视觉地图游戏，以提高护理人员的自我， 意识、动机和学习，社交网络，为其他照顾者提供社会支持联系， 和一个以护理人员为中心的仪表板，用于跟踪他们自己的压力和健康，以及关键的 患者表现指标。第二阶段目标2将评估 增强的CTP功能。II期，目标3，我们将进行一项RCT（n=50名护理人员/患者配对），以确定 与单独的MHS相比，将CTP添加到MHS导致护理者和患者结果的增强。 我们假设，提高照顾者的知识和社会和情感支持，将改善照顾者 生活质量，这反过来又会提高患者的整体护理质量和功能状态。主 数据驱动的结果将是护理人员的生活质量。由MHS确定并标准化的患者护理 还将评估认知评估以及自我报告的护理者和患者满意度。这 综合的、易于使用的以护理人员为中心的培训计划将是护理人员市场所独有的。
