Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The study is in the first place a product development project. This means that first an analysis will be made of the needs of teh participating persons with dementia and possible qualitative solutions. The analysis will focus on the factors by which a person with mild dementia is affected or that affects the process of daily living (e.g. the (dis)abilities, patient characteristics, ways of coping, social and material contextual aspects, received support and care, unmet needs, quality of life aspects). On the basis of this analysis a device will be developed. At the end of the first year and second year preliminary versions of the device will be tested with the users. The analysis will focus specifically on the user friendliness and practical/technical usability of the device. At the end of the final test (in the third year) the impact of the developed system on actual and perceived autonomy and quality of life in the selected domains of daily life of the person with dementia will be investigated. The focus will be on memory, social contact, daily activities, feelings of safety. Concrete questions will be, for example: does the device support the memory problems of the persons with dementia? Does it help them to communicate and stay in contact with their family and friends? Does it help them to execute, or participate in, activities they enjoy? Does it influence their mood and self-esteem positively and does it decrease their feelings of being isolated and unsafe?	—
