Subjective Memory Complaint
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will be divided into two parts: development of the mobile medical application for older adults with subjective memory decline and the intervention application. Start by developing and optimizing the application based on the rapid prototyping model. Then, in accordance with the framework of designing and evaluating complex intervention measures proposed by the Medical Research Council of the United Kingdom, pre-experiments will be carried out to apply the developed application to the actual intervention process to test the intervention effect, feasibility, and other contents of the application.
Interventions
OTHERIntervention of mobile health application
According to the contents of the Subjective Memory Complaint (SMC) application intervention program for the older adults previously formulated, the intervention time and the frequency (30min / time, once a week) of each training module and other contents were determined. The application will be implemented and lasted for a total of 1 month.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Subjective Memory Complaint (SMC) | Change from Baseline Subjective Memory Complaint at 1 month | Subjective Memory Complaint Questionnaire (SMCQ), a SMC self-assessment questionnaire designed for the elderly population, is adopted. There are 14 items in 2 dimensions. The first 4 items are used to evaluate the overall memory and the last 10 items are used to evaluate the daily memory. |
| Cognitive Function | Change from Baseline Cognitive function at 1 month | Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is adopted, which includes 8 aspects of cognitive domain assessment. The total score of this scale is 30 points, the higher the score is, the better the cognitive function will be. . |
| Memory | Change from Baseline Memory at 1 month | The Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT), developed by Kwak in 2001, is used to test the verbal memory function of the older adults. |
| The Quality of Life Rating Scale (SF-12) | Change from Baseline Quality of Life at 1 month | The Quality of Life Rating Scale (SF-12) is used. There are 12 items in total, with 8 dimensions, which are general health, physiological function, physiological function, physical pain, mental health, vitality, social function and emotional function. The eight dimensions can be summarized into two comprehensive indicators of physical health and mental health. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Demographic characteristics | Base line | General demographic of the older adults with memory complaints are obtained by self-made questionnaires including age, gender, education, occupation, whether they live alone, and chronic diseases. |
