项目摘要：利益相关者参与核心 利益相关者参与核心通过确保技术支持试点项目研究过程 通过马萨诸塞州老龄和阿尔茨海默氏症互联护理人工智能和技术中心开发 疾病(MAITC)是由老年人、家庭成员或其他非正式成员当前和未来的需求驱动的 护理员和临床医生。利益相关者参与核心是中心之间的桥梁 健康老龄化和AD/ADRD研究的科学进展以及那些可以从中受益的人 预付款。 为了支持这些目标，利益相关者参与核心有四个目标。一是进行严谨的 以及持续的利益相关者需求评估流程，以引出并统一记录老年人、家庭或 其他非正式护理人员和临床医生的需求，因为他们与老龄化和AD/ADRD试点核心有关。这个 利益相关者参与核心已经成立了一个多元化的、高度合格的利益相关者咨询委员会，以帮助 确定健康老龄化和AD/ADRD领域最紧迫的利益相关者需求。利益相关者 Engagement Core将与不同的老年人及其业外照顾者开展焦点小组，以提供试点 拥有关于老年人和业余照顾者的实用信息的项目团队需要证明其重要性和 其试点研究的重点，并通过提供对以下方面的见解，向MAITC的技术重点领域提供信息 利益相关者对潜在技术的看法。第二个目标是通过以下方式支持试点项目进程 确保试点项目征集要求和选定的试点项目对利益攸关方作出反应 并为选定的试点项目提供深入指导，以帮助加快其研究。第三个目标 是确保以最终用户为中心的试点项目团队使用有效的以人为中心的设计思想 进行彻底的患者、非正式护理人员和临床医生需求评估的方法，并设计 满足这些需求的早期解决方案。第四个目标是广泛传播来自 来自个别试点项目的利益攸关方需求评估活动和与利益攸关方有关的结论(在 与其他核心的协调)。这一目标将提高利益相关者对与技术和 老龄化为更广泛的研究、临床医生、支付者、行业和政策社区提供信息。利益相关者 Engagement Core还将通过以下方式增加通过MAITC进行的试点项目的价值 广泛传播和准备未来的资金。

PROJECT SUMMARY: Stakeholder Engagement Core The Stakeholder Engagement Core supports the pilot project research process by ensuring that technologies developed through the Massachusetts AI and Technology Center for Connected Care in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease (MAITC) are driven by current and future needs of older adults, family members or other informal caregivers, and clinicians. The Stakeholder Engagement Core serves as the bridge between the center’s scientific advances in healthy aging and AD/ADRD research and those individuals who can benefit from these advances. In support of these goals, the Stakeholder Engagement Core has four aims. The first is to conduct a rigorous and ongoing stakeholder needs assessment process to elicit and cohesively document older adult, family or other informal caregiver, and clinician needs as they relate to the Aging and AD/ADRD pilot cores. The Stakeholder Engagement Core has formed a diverse, highly qualified Stakeholder Advisory Board to help identify the most pressing stakeholder needs in the areas of healthy aging and AD/ADRD. The Stakeholder Engagement Core will conduct focus groups with diverse older adults and their lay caregivers to provide pilot project teams with practical information about older adult and lay caregiver needs to justify the significance and focus of their pilot studies, and to inform the MAITC’s technology focus areas by providing insights into stakeholders’ perceptions of potential technologies. The second aim is to support the pilot project process by ensuring that the pilot project solicitation requirements and chosen pilot projects are responsive to stakeholder needs, and provide in-depth guidance for selected pilot projects to help accelerate their research. The third aim is to ensure that end user-focused pilot project teams are using effective human-centered design thinking methods for conducting thorough patient, informal caregiver, and clinician needs assessments, and designing early solutions to meet those needs. The fourth aim is to broadly disseminate synthesized findings from the stakeholder needs assessment activities and stakeholder-related findings from individual pilot projects (in coordination with other cores). This aim will raise awareness of stakeholder needs related to technology and aging to inform the broader research, clinician, payer, industry, and policy communities. The Stakeholder Engagement Core will also increase the value of the pilot projects conducted via the MAITC by aiding with broad dissemination and preparation for future funding.
