Unmet dementia-related care needs are highly prevalent, and are detrimental to the care dyad's (person with dementia and their family care partner) health, safety, mortality, and likelihood of nursing home placement. READyR II tests a dynamic tailoring phase of an intervention program that was previously developed to remotely assess dementia-related care needs using digital data on behavioral patterns (from sensors and wearables) in the home. READyR II follows participants who have completed READyR for a total of six months in order to detect anomalies in activity patterns that may indicate new and unforeseen care needs.~People who voluntarily decide to participate in this follow-up intervention study will be asked to continue participating with the in-home monitoring sensor platform, complete weekly questionnaires, and receive regular follow-up telephone calls from the study team.
The purpose of the READyR II Study is to test a dynamic tailoring phase of a remote assessment for changing dementia-related care needs.
