The overall objective of this Phase 1 SBIR is to design an interactive multimedia advanced telecommunications system targeted at meeting the medical, social and psychological needs of primary and secondary caregivers of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) patients. This system will network ADRD caregivers, patients, volunteer advisors/counselors, home health agencies, social service agencies, physicians and hospitals into an "Electronic Community for Alzheimer's Caregivers" (ECAC). Our aims re 1) to develop the ECAC model and system design through evaluation of the biopsychosocial needs of patients, families, respite caregivers and front-line health providers through focus groups; 2) to enhance the "Continuously Available Medical Care" CAMC) home station for chronically ill adults which has been in development by LG&A over past two years to address the needs of ADRD caregivers and 3) to develop an experimental research design for the Phase II effort to evaluate the results of the ECAC approach to ADRD. The ECAC system will include a videoconferencing link to providers, peer support groups, a sophisticated diary module, an automated medical encounter system, an extensive multimedia educational module, and a psychological diagnostic module permitting providers to detect issues which require professional intervention. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The commercial potential for ECAC is substantial. A target of achieving 1% acceptance among estimated 3 million ADRD caregivers at a monthly software license fee of $25/person/month, which would be updated regularly by LG&A, would result in 9 million in annual revenues and close to one million income/year level which may be achieved in five years.

该阶段1 SBIR的总体目标是设计一个交互式 多媒体高级电信系统针对的 初级和次要的医学，社会和心理需求 阿尔茨海默氏病和相关痴呆（ADRD）患者的护理人员。 该系统将与ADRD护理人员，患者，志愿者联系 顾问/辅导员，家庭健康机构，社会服务机构， 医师和医院进入“阿尔茨海默氏症的电子社区 护理人员（ECAC）。我们的目标是1）开发ECAC模型和系统 通过评估患者的生物心理社会需求的设计， 通过重点 群体； 2）增强“连续可用的医疗” CAMC）家 LG＆A正在开发的长期患病成年人的站 在过去的两年中，以满足ADRD护理人员的需求，3） 为第二阶段的努力开发实验研究设计 评估ADRD的ECAC方法的结果。 ECAC系统将 包括指向提供者的视频会议链接，同伴支持小组，一个 复杂的日记模块，自动医疗遭遇系统，一个 广泛的多媒体教育模块和心理诊断 模块允许提供者检测需要专业的问题 干涉。 拟议的商业应用：ECAC的商业潜力是 重大的。 在估计中获得1％接受的目标3 以每月的软件许可费为每月的ADRD护理人员 每月25美元，将由LG＆A定期更新 每年收入900万，收入接近100万 可以在五年内实现。
