The goal of the proposed project is to develop an app for older adult drivers that combines feedback based on actual driving behavior with a dynamic and escalating modality of personal feedback and coaching designed for persons with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Alzheimer’s disease related dementias (ADRD), or cognitive impairment. This app will be specifically designed and tested for older adult drivers with AD, ADRD, or cognitive impairment. This is critical as this product will extend older adult driver’s mobility for as long as possible, while keeping themselves and other road users safe. Driving is essential for the preservation of functional independence for older adults, yet there is a growing body of evidence that older adult drivers with cognitive impairment have a higher crash risk relative to older adult drivers who are not cognitively impaired. Older adult drivers are already overrepresented in motor vehicle crash deaths and injuries. The project team is uniquely suited to successfully carry out this research due to our unique combination of skills and abilities, which includes a history of developing products for older adults, including the use of telematics and driving data in applications, research using driving apps and coaching drivers, and research in AD and ADRD, including cognition-driving studies.

拟议项目的目的是为老年人驾驶员开发一个应用程序，该应用程序根据实际驾驶行为以及针对阿尔茨海默氏病（AD），阿尔茨海默氏病相关痴呆症（ADRD）（ADRD）（ADRD）或认知障碍的人的个人反馈和教练的动态和升级方式结合了反馈。该应用程序将针对具有AD，ADRD或认知障碍的老年人驾驶员进行专门设计和测试。这至关重要，因为该产品将尽可能长时间地扩大老年人驾驶员的移动性，同时确保自己和其他道路使用者安全。驾驶对于保存老年人的功能独立性至关重要，但是有越来越多的证据表明，与未认知障碍的老年人驾驶员相比，患有认知障碍的老年人驾驶员具有更高的崩溃风险。老年人驾驶员已经在汽车撞车事故和伤害中过分代表。由于我们的技能和能力的独特结合，该项目团队非常适合成功地进行这项研究，其中包括为老年人开发产品的历史，包括使用远程信息处理和应用程序中的数据，使用驱动应用程序和教练驱动程序的研究以及AD和ADRD的研究，包括认知驾驶研究。
