What this research studies
We are creating a group of diverse individuals, including older adults, their caregivers, and healthcare providers, to share their experiences and ideas. This group will help make sure that new AI technologies are developed with patients' needs and preferences in mind. Their input will guide every step, from identifying what is needed to testing early versions of new tools. This approach aims to ensure that future AI solutions are fair, effective, and truly helpful for older adults and those living with dementia.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Older adults, especially those with dementia, and their caregivers who are interested in sharing their perspectives on healthcare technology development would be ideal participants for this engagement effort.
Not a fit: Patients who are not interested in providing feedback on healthcare technology or who do not fit the demographic for older adults or dementia care may not directly benefit from this specific engagement core.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work will help ensure that new AI technologies are designed to be truly patient-centered, equitable, and effective for improving the health and care of older adults, especially those with dementia.
How similar studies have performed: Engaging stakeholders in the development of healthcare technologies is a recognized best practice, with prior efforts showing success in improving relevance and adoption of new tools.
