ReMember-Me in a Health Unit

The rapid evolution of technology has introduced innovative solutions in the healthcare sector. One such innovation is the ReMember-Me system, which is designed to support cognitive health and enhance the well-being of older adults. Two comprehensive studies were conducted to evaluate the usability and impact of the system from different perspectives. Study 1 involved older adults, carers, health professionals, students and family members. In contrast, Study 2 focused exclusively on healthcare professionals in care settings. The findings of these studies offer critical insights into the potential impact of the system on health care practices.

The ReMember-Me system aims to transform the healthcare landscape, particularly in care units and clinics. Teams from various countries including Group Matter Cyprus, Sint Jan Bergmans Belgium, Centrul de Excelență pentru Boli de Memorie și Medicina Longevității Romania and Santa Lucia Foundation Italy were actively involved in the field trials. These units, which have expertise in healthcare and ageing, played a key role in providing information on the usability of the system and the potential impact. With more than 60 practitioners exposed to the system during these trials, 26 of them actively contributed feedback, further enhancing the collective understanding of how the ReMember-Me system can shape the future of healthcare practices.

Study 2 focused on the perspectives of healthcare professionals, including gerontologists (17.4%), nurses (21.7%), psychologists (4.3%), doctors (4.3%) and others. Their views shed light on how the system can alleviate the workload of medical staff, enhance patient well-being and serve as a valuable tool in healthcare practices.

A significant proportion of health professionals felt that the system was "more likely than not" (69.1%) to be beneficial and were open to recommending it to their patients. This shows that the system has the potential to align with the needs of health professionals and integrate seamlessly into their daily routine.

What makes the ReMember-Me system stand out is its ability to offer more than traditional medical applications. In the eyes of healthcare professionals, it can serve as a social companion, providing recreational activities and cognitive stimulation. This recognition underscores the system's ability to improve the overall quality of life for patients beyond traditional medical care.

The findings of Study 2 underscore the potential of the ReMember-Me system to revolutionize healthcare practices. It can reduce the workload of medical staff, improve patient wellbeing and provide support across a range of care settings. By addressing technical challenges, improving usability and ensuring affordability, the system can become a valuable tool in healthcare practices.

ReMember-Me test results in real life

From September 2022 to July 2023, the ReMember-Me system was evaluated in multiple ways with over 240 people in Italy, Cyprus, Romania and Belgium. Now, we are pleased to publicly share the results of our efforts.

The ReMember-Me system, an innovative solution designed to enhance the cognitive health and overall well-being of older adults, was subjected to a comprehensive evaluation through two different studies. Study 1 offered a multifaceted perspective, incorporating feedback from older adults, caregivers, health professionals, students, and family members. This article reveals the findings of Study 1, highlighting the potential impact of the system on the lives of older adults and the wider community.

Study 1 engaged a wide range of participants, each representing a unique point of view. The study involved older adults, carers, health professionals, students and family members as well as students, experts and other community members. The diverse backgrounds and experiences of these participants shed light on the potential impact of the ReMember-Me system from a variety of perspectives.

The scheme was evaluated by the elderly themselves, revealing that a significant proportion found it a potential purchase. These seniors recognized the system's potential to motivate and keep them active, offering an opportunity for early intervention to maintain cognitive health.

Carers play a crucial role in the lives of older adults. Study 1 revealed that around 40% of participants believed that the system could significantly reduce the frequency of face-to-face visits and improve the quality of care provided to older adults.This perspective highlights the potential of the system to support carers in their essential role.

From the perspective of health professionals, the ReMember-Me system has garnered attention as an innovative and intelligent tool for monitoring and stimulating cognitive function. 73.68% of older adults reported that they used the system frequently, which was a surprising departure from the existing literature on technophobia; furthermore, the system demonstrated its ability to reduce the workload of medical staff by providing them with an essential tool for remote patient monitoring.

The students felt that the system is an innovative project that not only facilitates intergenerational connections but also promotes security in the carer-patient relationship. The scheme opens doors for volunteers to engage with older people, reducing the feelings of loneliness they may experience. This aspect extends the impact of the scheme to the wider community, promoting social cohesion and wellbeing.

Study 1 offers a multi-faceted view of the ReMember-Me system, highlighting its potential to empower older people, support carers, improve healthcare practices and strengthen intergenerational relationships. The results demonstrate a significant shift away from technophobia, with older adults showing a strong inclination towards the system. As technology continues to shape the landscape of aging and healthcare, the ReMember-Me system is emerging as a transformative force that promises to improve the lives of older adults, caregivers, and the broader community.

The impact of the ReMember-Me system is not limited to the individual level, but extends to promoting a sense of community, shared experiences and improved well-being.As society struggles with the challenges of an ageing population, this system is a beacon of hope, harnessing the power of technology to empower and connect generations in pursuit of a healthier and happier life.

Open Access deliverables

Το D1.1 χρησίμευσε ως θεμελιώδες έγγραφο στο πλαίσιο του έργου ReMember-Me. Το έγγραφο αυτό περιέγραφε τις συγκεκριμένες απαιτήσεις και προδιαγραφές του συστήματος που αναπτύσσεται για τους ηλικιωμένους, εστιάζοντας στις ανάγκες και τις προτιμήσεις τους. Ήταν ένα κρίσιμο στοιχείο στις αρχικές φάσεις του έργου και παρείχε ουσιαστικές πληροφορίες για τις επόμενες εργασίες. Ο πρωταρχικός σκοπός του D1.1 ήταν να περιγράψει λεπτομερώς τι πρέπει να επιτύχει το σύστημα και πώς πρέπει να λειτουργεί για να ικανοποιήσει τις ανάγκες των χρηστών-στόχων, διασφαλίζοντας ότι τα επόμενα στάδια ανάπτυξης θα ευθυγραμμίζονταν με τους στόχους του έργου και τις προσδοκίες των χρηστών.

D3.3 is an integrated project deliverable summarising the results of the field trials, where the impact and validity of the second and full prototype were evaluated using a proof of concept study methodology. The field trials focused on evaluating various aspects including ethics, usability, acceptability, and functional and non-functional features of the system.

A diverse group of older users, including users with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and healthy users, participated in the field trials. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups, assessed at baseline and post-intervention, using standardized instruments to measure aspects related to health and cognitive function. This evaluation aimed to determine the impact of the intervention and included measures to reduce expectancy bias in the control group.
