HAAL project aims to test several technological devices in order to improve the quality of life of older people with dementia and their informal and formal caregiver.
The HAAL study is a feasibility study. The general objectives of the HAAL project is to be assessed the stress relief at work for formal and informal caregivers, the improvement in the perceived quality of life for informal caregivers and person with dementia, the reduction in case load for the formal caregivers and the increased cost-effectiveness of the HAAL solution in comparison to the available services. The experimentation will be carried out in 3 sites: Italy, The Netherlands and Taiwan. The study consists in a alpha phase (5 older adults with dementia, 5 formal caregivers and 5 formal caregivers) and in a beta phase (10 older adults with dementia, 10 formal caregivers and 10 formal caregivers).
2,172 studies on the registry are indexed under Dementia; 540 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 10 is below the median of 83 across 1,629 interventional studies indexed under Dementia.

Exclusion Criteria:
Device: HAAL platform
The HAAL platform is composed by 6 devices (lifestyle monitoring system, a smart mattress, a GPS tracking system, a social robot, an interactive game for cognitive training, and an alarm system), 1 tablet and 1 dashboard. Each user benefits of a combination of such devices, according to its own needs. The dashboard, that is used by the Formal Caregiver, receives, analyses, and show data acquired by those devices. The platform uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms - in particular machine learning (ML) is used - to analyse the collected data. The main reason for using AI in HAAL is that the platform collects data from different sensors.
Care load of caregivers
The burden of the caregiver will be assessed through the ZARIT Burden Interview (ZBI). The ZBI is a caregiver self-report measure, containing 22 items. Each item on the interview is a statement which the caregiver is asked to endorse using a 5-point scale. Response options range from 0 (Never) to 4 (Nearly Always).Total score range: 0 to 88. score range 0-21: no to mild burden; score range 21-40: mild to moderate burden; score range 41-60: moderate to severe burden score ≥ 61: severe burden.
Time frame: baseline, 1, 2, and 3 months later
