User Experience and Compliance Rates of Remote Monitoring Technologies in Alzheimer’s Disease: Preliminary Results of the RADAR‐AD Study

Unlike traditional pen‐and‐paper clinical assessments, remote monitoring technologies (RMTs) can assess participants’ function continuously and objectively during activities of daily living. Despite the potential of RMTs to assess function or assist early disease detection, there is skepticism that age or impairment may render participants unable or unwilling to comply with complex RMT protocols. The 8‐week RADAR‐AD study protocol asks Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients in all disease stages to wear, amongst others, two activity trackers (Axivity, Fitbit), a wearable camera (Autographer), and use an active smartphone app (Mezurio), with a daily schedule totaling over 400 separate tasks and a parallel schedule for caregivers. This abstract presents preliminary compliance data and participant feedback.
