PROJECT ABSTRACT Although >11 million family/friends are caregivers to >6 million people with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD- Related Dementias (AD/ADRD), they do not typically receive personalized education, strategies and support to manage their own wellbeing and complex dementia-related symptoms. Lack of personalized care contributes to $321 billion annually in AD/ADRD care costs. In response, our company, Plans4Care, Inc, proposes a Fast- Track SBIR (PAS-22-196) to build and test a digital platform that delivers personalized care plans to caregivers on a smartphone, tablet or computer. To generate a personalized care plan, caregivers select a care challenge (from >50) they seek to address, and respond to brief, easy-to-answer questions (assessment). A novel clinical algorithm, developed by Plans4Care, maps the challenge and assessment results to the company’s database of >1,000 evidence-based strategies. A resultant personalized care plan contains education about the care challenge and specific strategies modifying the environment, communications, tasks, and/or activities. Caregivers also have access to trained dementia specialists (care advisors) for one-on-one tele-support as needed. Phase I will develop and evaluate a prototype. Phase I specific aims include: Aim 1: Develop a clickable prototype with clinical algorithms that map 5 common care challenges to brief assessments and evidence-based strategies to generate tailored care plans; and Aim 2: Determine feasibility (able to use platform to identify challenge/generate care plan), acceptability (appeal, appropriateness), and usability (able to navigate), using focus group and survey methodologies involving validated measures with 25 diverse caregivers (racially, ethnically, age, relationship, geography). At the conclusion of Phase I, quantitative milestones (go-no go) to transition to Phase II are: 1) 25 caregivers enrolled; 2) 75% complete assigned Plans4Care task: onboard, identify care challenge, generate care plan (feasibility); 3) 75% rate Plans4Care acceptable; and 4) 75% rate navigation easy-to-use (usability). During Phase II, we will ascertain if embedding Plans4Care into large geriatric primary care practices (part of accountable care organizations) results in improved caregiver wellbeing and reduced acute care utilization by people with AD/ADRD, and a commercially viable product. Phase II specific aims include: Aim 3: Incorporate Phase I feasibility feedback to complete the build out of the platform to address all 50+ care challenges, and develop our solution into a commercial product; and Aim 4: Conduct a two-group randomized controlled trial (n=160) to evaluate if Plans4Care improves diverse caregivers’ wellbeing and reduces acute care utilization of people with dementia. This aim will formally provide evidence for the platform and its implementation in primary care/ACOs. Our company was competitively selected to participate in the NIA Healthy Aging Start-Up Bootcamp. The commercialization potential of an easy-to-use tool providing personalized care that is integrated into ACOs is unique and desperately needed in the marketplace.

项目摘要 虽然> 1100万家庭/朋友是> 600万阿尔茨海默病（AD）和AD患者的照顾者， 相关痴呆症（AD/ADRD），他们通常不会接受个性化的教育，策略和支持， 管理自己的健康和复杂的痴呆症相关症状。缺乏个性化护理有助于 每年AD/ADRD护理费用高达3210亿美元。作为回应，我们公司，Plans 4Care，Inc，提出了一个快速- 跟踪SBIR（PAS-22-196）以构建和测试为护理人员提供个性化护理计划的数字平台 在智能手机、平板电脑或电脑上。为了生成个性化护理计划，护理人员选择护理挑战 (from>50）他们寻求解决，并回答简短，易于回答的问题（评估）。一种新的临床 由Plans 4Care开发的算法将挑战和评估结果映射到公司的数据库 1,000多项基于证据的战略。由此产生的个性化护理计划包含有关护理的教育 挑战和具体的战略，改变环境，通信，任务，和/或活动。 护理人员还可以获得训练有素的痴呆症专家（护理顾问）的一对一远程支持， needed.第一阶段将开发和评估一个原型。第一阶段的具体目标包括： 具有临床算法的可点击原型，将5个常见护理挑战映射到简要评估， 以证据为基础的战略，以产生定制的护理计划;和目标2：确定可行性（能够使用 识别挑战/生成护理计划的平台）、可接受性（上诉、适当性）和可用性（能够 导航），使用焦点小组和调查方法，涉及25种不同的有效措施， 照顾者（种族，民族，年龄，关系，地理）。在第一阶段结束时， 过渡到II期的里程碑（进行-不进行）是：1）25名护理人员入组; 2）75%完成分配 Plans 4Care任务：在船上，识别护理挑战，生成护理计划（可行性）; 3）75%的比率Plans 4Care 可接受; 4）75%的导航易用性（可用性）。在第二阶段，我们将确定是否嵌入 将Plans 4Care纳入大型老年初级保健实践（责任护理组织的一部分）， AD/ADRD患者的护理人员健康状况得到改善，急性护理利用率降低， 可行的产品第二阶段的具体目标包括：目标3：纳入第一阶段可行性反馈以完成 该平台的构建，以解决所有50多个护理挑战，并将我们的解决方案开发成商业 目标4：进行一项两组随机对照试验（n=160），以评估Plans 4Care 改善不同照顾者的福祉，减少痴呆症患者的急性护理利用。这一目标 将正式为该平台及其在初级保健/ACO中的实施提供证据。我公司 竞争性地选择参加NIA健康老龄化启动训练营。商业化 一个易于使用的工具，提供个性化的护理，集成到ACO的潜力是独一无二的， 市场上急需的。
