Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are leading causes of disability and often result in communication deficits of the person with dementia (PWD) that can complicate ADRD caregiving and clinical care. The research team will work with stakeholders to develop and design a personalized Assistive and Alternative Communication (AAC) device that relies on information technology (IT) and touchscreens to promote communication and personhood for PWD about their care preferences and experiences. This study will integrate the AAC into an existing health IT intervention that already facilitates clinical communication between caregivers and providers of PWD. A clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate outcomes of 58 dyads (PWD/caregivers) and their health care provider utilizing the My PATI (My Person Assisted Touchscreen Interface)intervention as an adjunct to care and care giving for 6 months.
