Abstract

Patient Reported Outcome Measures are medical questionnaires routinely completed by patients during treatment to assess & monitor their condition and quality of life from their own perspective. While PROMs have seen increased use & success, traditional PROMs can be challenging for People with Dementia. For my study, I will research implementing PROMs using Intelligent Virtual Assistants, devices that allow users to communicate & interact using a variety of different method. This approach offers more ways to communicate PROMs, collect them more frequently & adapt to users changing needs.
