Persons with Alzheimer’s disease make phone calls independently using a computer-aided telephone system

This study assessed whether four patients with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease could make independent phone calls via a computer-aided telephone system. The study was carried out according to a non-concurrent multiple baseline design across participants. All participants started with baseline during which the telephone system was not available, and continued with intervention in which […]

Persons with mild or moderate Alzheimer’s disease use a basic orientation technology to travel to different rooms within a day center

This study assessed whether three patients with Alzheimer’s disease could learn to use a basic orientation technology to reach different rooms within a day center. At each travel instance, the technology provided verbal messages (cues) from the room to reach. For the first two patients, the messages were presented at intervals of about 15s. For […]

Technology-aided verbal instructions to help persons with mild or moderate Alzheimer’s disease perform daily activities

These two studies extended previous research on the use of verbal instructions and support technology for helping persons with mild or moderate Alzheimer’s disease perform daily activities. Study I included seven participants who were to carry out one of two previously targeted activities (i.e., either coffee preparation or table setting). Study II included four participants […]

Self-regulated music stimulation for persons with Alzheimer’s disease: impact assessment and social validation

Objective: To assess the impact and the social rating of an active music condition (in which 10 patients with Alzheimer’s disease regulated their music input) vs. a passive music condition.; Method: In the active condition, the patients used a simple hand response and a microswitch to activate music stimulation periods. In the passive condition, music […]

Assessing the impact and social perception of self-regulated music stimulation with patients with Alzheimer’s disease

We assessed the impact and social rating of an active and a passive music condition implemented with six patients with Alzheimer’s disease. In the active condition, the patients used a simple hand response and a microswitch to self-regulate music stimulation inputs. In the passive condition, music stimulation was automatically presented throughout the sessions. Active and […]
