NCT ID: NCT05352399

Last Updated: 2025-08-05

Results Overview

Appropriateness is defined as the perceived fit, relevance, or compatibility of the innovation for a given setting or consumer, and/or perceived fit of the innovation to address a particular issue or problem. The measure consists of 4 questions, with an overall score range of 4-20 (higher scores suggest increased appropriateness). Administration time is 1-2 minutes. Measured by survey.

Participant Flow

This was a caregiver-focused study. Although both persons living with cognitive impairment (PLWCI) and their care partners were approached during the recruitment process, only care partners were considered enrolled participants. All baseline and outcome measures, including self-efficacy and burden assessments, were collected solely from enrolled care partners. The reported enrollment number and participant flow reflect the number of care partners enrolled, not the number of dyads or PLWCI. No s

Intervention (NeuViCare AI)
Participants will be part of the Intervention arm participants and will engage with NeuViCare AI, including all variations of its 5 components described further below. NeuViCare application: Intervention arm participants will engage with NeuViCare AI, including all variations of its 5 components: 1) NeuViCare Planner - enables review of ordered tests and external resources recommended by the care provider; 2) NeuViCare Task-Support Service - provides context-sensitive, personalized text-based assistance to help patients' complete care plan captured in the NeuViCare Planner; 3) NeuViCare Resource Advisor - presents trusted, unbiased advice to locate nearby resources listed within their care plan; 4) NeuViCare Advisor - educates and trains Persons Living With Dementia (PLWD) and their care partners at the moment of need; and 5) NeuViCare Community Hub - a safe virtual space which enables care partners to interact with other peer care partners to gain their experiential knowledge and emotional support.
