Summary

This study tested a personalized touchscreen device (My PATI) to help people with Alzheimer's or related dementias communicate their care preferences. Researchers worked with 42 participants (people with dementia and their caregivers) to see if the device improved quality of life and eased caregiver stress. The study was ended early, so results are limited.
