A Smart Health Platform for Measuring Health and Well-Being Improvement in People With Dementia and Their Informal Caregivers: Usability Study

A Smart Health Platform for Measuring Health and Well-Being Improvement in People With Dementia and Their Informal Caregivers: Usability Study

This is not unexpected because the small number of participants and the accompanying lack of statistical power limit the statistical inference in this study design. Furthermore, given the observational nature of the study, we cannot attribute that the changes observed were related to the deployment of the platform.

Development of a Caregivers’ Support Platform (Connected Health Sustaining Home Stay in Dementia): Protocol for a Longitudinal Observational Mixed Methods Study

Development of a Caregivers’ Support Platform (Connected Health Sustaining Home Stay in Dementia): Protocol for a Longitudinal Observational Mixed Methods Study

We hypothesis a moderate between-groups effect size (d=0.5), so with 80% power and alpha=.05, a sample of 64 individuals in the intervention group and 64 in the usual care group is required for the t test. Adjusting for ANCOVA by sqrt (1-p2), where the p is the conservative correlation of 0.5 between repeated measures [39], results in a sample of 55 in each group. To account for dropout, 60 Pw D-caregiver dyads will need to be recruited for each group.
