Study Details

Brief summary:

Most older people want to stay at home as long as possible. Effective self-management for people losing autonomy depends on reliable monitoring of their mobility, health and safety and active implication in decision-making. New technologies have the potential to provide information about changing patterns that reflect changing care needs. This information could help older adults, caregivers and health professionals to participate in decision-making about housing options when a change in living environment needs to be considered.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

Older adults with mild cognitive impairment

WP1, older adults with cognitive impairment will use a GPS tracker for 2 weeks, during which they are asked 1) to keep a daily diary about their activity (travel diary), 2) take the researcher on a walk that they often do (walking interview), and 3) participate in an in-depth interview after 2 weeks, in which their experience with the GPS ans the travel diary data are discussed.

WP2, older adults with mild cognitive impairment, caregivers, health professionals and technology developers will collaborate during group discussion meeting to co-design the e-decision support platform to be adapted.

WP3, older adults with mild cognitive impairment, caregivers and health professionals will then be asked to use the adapted e-decision support platform and fill a survey.

Interventions

GPS and travel diary

WP1: GPS tracker for 2 weeks and a daily diary about activity (travel diary).

e-decision support platform

WP2 and WP3: An e-decision support platform that will foster shared decision making about options to stay safe at home for the older adult.

Primary outcome measure

  • Autonomy and mobility assessment using GPS [ Time Frame: Participant will wear a GPS for a total of two weeks. As data collection will occur in parallel at all four sites (Quebec, Alberta, Sweden, Netherlands) data collection will happen over a period of 1 year ]
  • Iterative assessment to tailor the e-decision support technology [ Time Frame: Immediately after group discussion. 3 sequential group discussion are plan to occur, one in each country (Canada, Sweden, Netherlands) data collection will happen over a period of 1 year. ]
  • User experience assessment of the newly adapted technology [ Time Frame: Immediately after testing the new platform. As data collection will occur in parallel at all four sites (Quebec, Alberta, Sweden, Netherlands), it will happen over a period of 6 months ]
