Summary

The purpose of this research study is to learn whether it is possible and useful for caregivers to report behavioral or psychological symptoms of people with mild memory problems or Alzheimer's disease through a smartphone mobile application. The investigators believe that monitoring these symptoms and having a tool, like a mobile application, can provide quicker accessibility to the patient's clinical care team, which could improve care for patients and caregivers.

These types of symptoms found in patients with mild memory problems or Alzheimer's disease are any type of psychiatric symptoms or abnormal behaviors one might develop as the result of these brain illnesses. Examples of psychological and behavioral symptoms are depression, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, agitation, and hallucinations. These symptoms differ from regular psychiatric symptoms, because they are caused by mild memory problems or Alzheimer's disease (AD). These symptoms can cause a lot of distress for patients and caregivers, and can lead to greater use of healthcare services.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Mobile Phone Application Assessments

The BrainCare Notes app was designed to be installed on the caregiver's phone. It has the capacity to send Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q) assessments to the caregiver. If the answers to the behavioral and psychological symptoms rise above the threshold, the clinicians will be notified, and a care plan will be enacted, in order to keep the patient and caregiver safe. The application also has the ability to send and receive private messages between caregiver and the patient's clinical care team.

OTHER

Standard Assessments

The caregiver and patient will receive the same questionnaires and surveys that the intervention group will receive. However, they will not receive the mobile phone application questionnaires.
