What this Trial Is About
Researchers are exploring how a digital life story application can support person-centred care for older adults with dementia. The study focuses on healthcare professionals' perspectives and aims to see if the digital application can replace traditional written life story documents used in care. The life story tool is intended to help create security and improve communication between healthcare professionals and people with dementia by sharing important personal information and experiences. The study involves healthcare professionals who currently use a written life story in their daily care routines. They will participate in focus group interviews to share their experiences, then transfer information from the written life story to the digital application called Min Memoria. This digital tool will be tested in daily care settings, and researchers will observe how it is used during interactions and communication with older adults with dementia. Participants will be involved over several periods: from October 2023 to August 2024, researchers will collect experiences of using the written life story; from September 2024 to August 2025, usage data of the digital tool will be gathered; and from September 2025 to December 2026, observations will be made on how the digital life story is used in care situations. The study will monitor these experiences and interactions to evaluate the potential benefits and application of the digital life story tool.
