Dementia Caregivers’ Perspectives on Technology’s Place in Care Practices: Mixed Methods Survey

Dementia Caregivers’ Perspectives on Technology’s Place in Care Practices: Mixed Methods Survey

Studies have explored the unmet needs of informal caregivers using an online survey across various domains, including health information, self-care, and support service accessibility [9]. Their findings revealed a critical need for targeted support systems that focus on caregivers’ self-care, stress management, and communication skills. The study found that digital platforms could play a role in addressing these needs, given the potential for broad dissemination and accessibility.

Adherence to Usability and Accessibility Principles in Digital Health Applications for Patients With Diabetes: Systematic Review

However, the adoption of these technologies is hindered by a myriad of factors, including but not limited to user accessibility challenges, limited usability, and an insufficient consideration of those with vision or hearing impairments [8,11]. Apps are designed and developed differently and may miss crucial aspects of development, due to a lack of clinical expertise, a lack of iterative user feedback, fast development, and limited research funding [12].

For the second question, participants explained that most of the apps do not have accessibility options like a back button. Furthermore, there was an issue with the GPS not being accurate, and a few participants mentioned the difficulty of navigating indoors. Additionally, all participants agreed that each app is incomplete and that to do each different task, they would have to switch between the different apps, which was troublesome.

Grab Bar Grasp Location During Bathtub Exit and Sit-to-Stand Transfers: Biomechanical Evaluation

Building codes [7] and accessibility standards [8] that exist to guide placement vary in their recommendations and are not necessarily based on empirical evidence supporting safety and usability. While tools exist to assist with the selection of assistive devices for bathing [9,10], there are no current tools to help occupational therapists decide where grab bars should be placed.

Trends in Avoidable Hospitalizations Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Multiple Cross-Sectional Study Using Administrative Data From Beijing, China

One key measure that policy makers and researchers use to evaluate the accessibility to high-quality primary care is hospitalizations related to ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs), as they could be potentially avoided with timely and effective health care management [2,3]. These ACSCs-related hospitalizations are often referred to as avoidable hospitalizations (AHs) that may impose substantial burdens on individuals, the health care system, and the whole society.
