Grant: Travel Awards - Institute Community Support

This study will try to identify what features are important to people with Mild Cognitive Impairment or early dementia when they choose technology for everyday use, whether use of a mobile care portal that is offered through an iPad application (Mozzaz) will have potential benefits for them and what features does Mozzaz need to have to be suitable for this specific user group. Older adults and family caregivers will be trained to see if they can learn to use such application to support their health and well-being. Data on age and health specific barriers or obstacles in using Mozzaz application will be collected over time along with any improvement of their quality of life and quality of relationship with caregivers. Data will be collected in conjunction with the assessment, implementation, and summary of results phases of the overall Mozzaz project for comparison with the other patient groups and service providers.
