Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen e. V. (DZNE) Rostock/Greifswald, Rostock, Germany.
Background: Using artificial intelligence approaches enable automated assessment and analysis of speech biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease, for example using chatbot technology. However, current chatbots often are unsuitable for people with cognitive impairment. Here, we implemented a user-centred-design approach to evaluate and improve usability of a chatbot system for automated speech assessments for people with preclinical, prodromal and early dementia.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents challenges with its complex neurodegenerative mechanisms, leading to a high failure rate in clinical trials. While drug repositioning offers a cost-effective solution, the lack of a subtype-driven strategy hinders success. Previously, we defined genetic subtypes and their prioritized genes for each genetic subtype (Sahelijo et al.

Background: Care and support for people with dementia and their families in South Africa are largely inadequate. Responses to dementia are driven by a widespread lack of understanding of dementia amongst the general public, communities, and within local health, policy- and social care systems. This presentation will focus on the findings of a situational analysis completed within the STRIDE project (i.

University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: It has been validated that dementia can be alleviated by talk therapy. While general large language models (LLMs) have the potential for talk therapy and dementia treatment, customized LLMs resembling a mental-health therapist can be more professional and powerful. We introduced an LLM solution designed for tailored mental health support for future dementia care.

Background: Low-resource residential long-term care (LTC) settings, including settings located in medically underserved and health professional shortage communities, have fewer environmental resources to support high-quality, robust data collection and use of measures to support person-centered dementia care (PCC). Further, such settings are more likely to serve older adults from populations that have experienced historic harms related to misuse of personal data, including low-income and minoritized populations. Design thinking engages community-members to understand a problem from the end-user's perspective (empathize and define), brainstorm new solutions (ideate), and develop proposed solutions (prototype and test).
