Efficacy of Gamification in Enhancing User Engagement
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Alzheimer Disease, Dementia, Gamification, Assistive Technology
In brief
As part of Phase II of the NIH SBIR grant, the study will conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial in which the MapHabit system's gamification is investigated to determine whether the assistive technology facilitates user engagement and retention. Additionally, the study will examine if the gamified software improves the quality of life of persons with dementia and reduce the burden of the respective care partners. Participants will be individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias in mild to moderate stage of cognitive impairment, accompanied by their respective primary care partner (i.e., primary familial caregiver). The study will be a randomized controlled clinical trial, in which two conditions will be investigated: 1) experimental condition in which MHS+Gamification is implemented into the daily care received by participants 2) control condition in which the MHS alone and separate engagement material is incorporated into the participant's daily care. Sample size goal will strive for a total of 40 individual-caregiver dyads, 20 in each condition. The study duration will be a 6-month intervention.
