The smart grower is a hydroponic indoor grower that creates a controllable environment with auto optimization for growing healthy plants, fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruits. A mobile app will be connected to the grower for controlling the growing environment (e.g., lighting, watering), tracking the progress of the plants, and guiding the older people with dementia and their family caregivers in conducting the horticultural activities. The program will consist of eight face-to-face (F-T-F) horticultural activity training sessions for groups of 6-8 participants. The indoor program contains various horticultural, cognitive, and multisensory stimulation activities, such as asking PWD and family caregivers to record the sense of touch and odor when caring for the plants and to observe the various changes in the plants using the smart grower.",[9],[20],{"name":21,"role":22,"phone":23,"phoneExt":11,"email":24},"Patrick Kor, PhD","CONTACT","852-27665622","patrick.kor@polyu.edu.hk",{"type":26,"investigatorFullName":27,"investigatorTitle":28,"investigatorAffiliation":5,"oldNameTitle":11,"oldOrganization":11},"PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR","Patrick KOR Pui Kin","Assistant Professor","100567212","horticultural-activities-among-the-people-with-dementia-and-their-family-caregivers-100567212",false,"NCT06665243","Horticultural Activities Among the People with Dementia and Their Family Caregivers","Effects of Technology-Enhanced Horticultural Activities Among the People with Dementia and Their Family Caregivers","Inclusion Criteria (PWD):\n\n* aged 65 or above;\n* diagnosed with any type of dementia at the early to moderate stage;\n* community-dwelling (i.e., non-institutionalized); and\n* able to understand Cantonese and follow simple instructions.\n\nInclusion Criteria (Caregivers)\n\n* aged 18 years or above;\n* blood or by-marriage relatives (e.g., spouses, siblings, children, and grandchildren) of a person who has been clinically diagnosed with dementia, regardless of its type;\n* are taking up caring responsibilities ranging from physical aid to emotional support, in the form of transportation, financial assistance, personal hygiene, and decision-making;\n* providing most of the daily care and support for PWD (daily contact for at least four hours); and\n* able to speak Cantonese.\n\nExclusion Criteria (PWD + Caregivers):\n\n* being diagnosed with a mental disorder such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or depression;\n* taking anticonvulsants or any kind of psychotropic drugs; and\n* identified with self-reported suicidal thoughts or drug abuse in the past 6 months.","ALL",{"count":38,"type":39},130,"ESTIMATED","INTERVENTIONAL",[42],"NA","The goal of this study is to explore the effects of technology-enhanced horticultural activities on people with dementia (PWD) and their family caregivers.
