Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Gamified InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This condition will involve the implementation of an assistive technology software (named the MapHabit system) with added gamification features into the daily care of individuals with mild to moderate stage of dementia. The MapHabit System (MHS) is a commercially available visual mapping software application that utilize visual, audio, and text media to create step-by-step visual guides to assist individuals and their caregivers in structuring and accomplishing activities of daily living (ADLs). The application will be made available to families through compatible tablets.
Group II: Exploratory InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The exploratory condition will be given the same MHS version as the active comparator (control condition). However, for this group, participants will also engage in virtual reality games throughout the duration of the study. These virtual reality games are integrated with the MHS and includes cognitive games revolving around mental acuity, motor skills, etc.
Group III: Non-gamified InterventionActive Control1 Intervention
This control condition acted as the active comparator to the experimental condition. The same assistive technology, the MapHabit system, will be given to a separate group of participants. The difference here will be that the software will be a version that does not include gamification features.
