End User and Primary Care Physicians' Perspectives on Digital Innovations in Dementia Risk Detection: Focus on a Digital Sleep Biomarker.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dementia is a global health priority. Early identification in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic individuals (ie, dementia risk detection) is proposed as a clinical solution for early intervention and could support researchers to identify novel neuropathological targets and recruit to clinical trials. Digital biomarkers of behavioral or physiological markers, including sleep, are cited as a potential low-cost, noninvasive, and objective method for dementia risk detection. Understanding perspectives on digital biomarkers, particularly acceptability, from potential end users and clinical staff is required when considering implementation within any clinical service. With emerging evidence of sleep as a risk marker for dementia, the efficacy of the Dementia Research Institut
