Abstract
Using a user-centered approach, the specific aim is to develop a feasible and acceptable smartphone-based EMA protocol to collect real-time psychological data, including momentary emotions, perceived stress levels, and environmental stressors from individuals with MCI in their everyday environments. Such a tool is a crucial step that enables testing of the theoretical framework underlying neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in MCI, a significant and prevalent risk factor known to speed up progression to dementia. We will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this tool by examining adherence metrics (completion rate, compliance rate, response latency, number of technical support requests), and conducting qualitative interviews to gather user experience and suggestion for improvement for further enhancement.
