AI Summary

This is a planned randomized trial of a mobile informatics system (Social Reminder System) intended to improve social engagement and reduce caregiver burden in dyads involving persons with memory concerns. No results are available; the study has not yet begun recruitment and exists only as a registered protocol with planned outcome measures.

Caveats

This is a registry record only; no results are posted or available.
Study has not yet begun recruitment (status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING).
No sample size justification, power calculation, or control condition specification reported.
Blinding, allocation concealment, and other risk-of-bias safeguards not described in registry.

Evidence assessment

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.

Study design

moderate

Randomized controlled trial design specified; phase and allocation method clear.

Directness

moderate

Primary outcomes include both person with dementia and caregiver endpoints.

Consistency

insufficient

No results reported; consistency cannot be assessed.

Risk of bias

insufficient

Study conduct and blinding details not described in registry record.

Sample adequacy

moderate

Planned enrollment 200 (100 dyads); sample size justification not reported.

What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.

Source abstract

Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07773493). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: University of Minnesota. Recruitment status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 200 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Memory Disorders, Mild Cognitive Impairment, Dementia, Social Isolation, Caregiver Burden. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Social Reminder System. Primary outcome measures: Change in Social Interaction Frequency and Quality , Baseline to 6 months; Change in Pleasant Events and Social Engagement as Assessed by the Pleasant Events Schedule-Alzheimer's Disease , Baseline to 6 months; Change in Social Support Score , Baseline to 6 months; Change in Loneliness , Baseline to 6 months; Change in Caregiver Burden , Baseline to 6 months; Change in Role Captivity Score , Baseline to 6 months; Change in Role Overload Score , Baseline to 6 months; Change in Anxiety as Assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale , Baseline to 6 months; Change in Depression as Assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale , Baseline to 6 months. Brief summary: This study will evaluate the Social Reminder System, a mobile informatics system designed to support persons with memory concerns and their care partners. The system is intended to aid social integration for persons with memory concerns and improve care coordination and reduce caregiver burden among caregivers. Researchers will enroll 100 persons with memory concerns and their care partners. Half of the dyads will be randomly assigned to receive the Social Reminder System technology for a 6-month period, and the other half will be randomly assigned to the usual care control group. Participants will complete baseline, 3-month, and 6-month surveys. A subset of participants who receive the technology will also be asked to complete a semi-structured interview after the 6-month survey.
