Mind's Eye
Overview
The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile application for patients with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The mobile application is called Mind’s Eye and is a variation of a famous card game called Shake Loose a Memory.
The data is collected on the mobile application is the user’s choices for each card. The choices are Yes or No and the card asks a real life scenario question, like if the individual has ever driven a car, or perhaps went to the movie with a friend. The answer choices are then saved to a database. The answer choice, the date, and time are all saved onto the database and can be accessed at a later date by the patient or a medical professional.
