OKLAHOMANS HELPING ACHIEVE NEEDED ACCESS (OHANA): ZERO SUICIDE IMPLEMENTATION, MOBILE CRISIS, AND HEALTH HOME TEAMS IN 7 RURAL COUNTIES - CREOKS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. CCBHC PROJECT ADDRESSES THE RISING SUICIDE RATE IN SEVEN COUNTIES IN OKLAHOMA BY EXPANDING SCREENING AND TREATMENT, FIELDING A CHILDREN'S MOBILE CRISIS TEAM, AND PROVIDING OUTREACH TO THE AT-RISK POPULATIONS OF LGBTQAI2S+, NATIVE AMERICANS, AND VETERANS. CREOKS WILL ALSO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF CHILDREN 0-8 WITH SERIOUS EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE (SED) AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (DD) THROUGH SPECIALIZED HEALTH HOME TEAMS. FROM 2018-2020, WHILE THE DEATH BY SUICIDE RATE WENT DOWN NATIONALLY BY ALMOST 5%, IT ROSE ALMOST 10% IN OKLAHOMA. THE SITUATION IS PARTICULARLY ALARMING FOR OKLAHOMANS DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INCLUDING NATIVE AMERICANS, VETERANS, AND LGBTQAI2S+. NATIVE AMERICANS HAVE A 1.8 TIMES HIGHER SUICIDE RATE THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC; VETERANS HAVE A 52% HIGHER RATE; AND LGBTQAI2S+ YOUTH HAVE A 4 TIMES HIGHER RISK THAN OTHER YOUTH. THE "OKLAHOMANS HELPING ACHIEVE NEEDED ACCESS (OHANA): ZERO SUICIDE IMPLEMENTATION, MOBILE CRISIS, AND HEALTH HOME TEAMS IN 7 RURAL COUNTIES" CCBHC ADVANCEMENT PROJECT WILL SERVE THE 306,605 INHABITANTS OF THE SEVEN COUNTIES OF ADAIR, CHEROKEE, CREEK, OKFUSKEE, OKMULGEE, SEQUOYAH, AND WAGONER WITH A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE 30% WHO ARE NATIVE AMERICAN, THE 7.2% VETERANS, AND THE 7.1% LGBTQAI2S+. THE OVERARCHING GOAL IS TO REDUCE SUICIDE IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THESE COMMUNITIES BY STRENGTHENING CREOKS' IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ZERO SUICIDE MODEL, IMPROVING ACCESS TO INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, EXPANDING THE USE OF EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES (EBPS), AND ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVE TRANSITIONS OF CARE. CREOKS WILL ALSO PILOT INTEGRATED CARE WRAPAROUND TEAMS TO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR SPECIALIZED SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH CO-OCCURRING SED AND DD AGES 0-8. RESEARCH AND LOCAL HUMAN SERVING AGENCIES INDICATE THAT STANDARD BEHAVIOR THERAPIES ARE NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM OR HAVING ADHD. STRATEGIES TO BE EMPLOYED INCLUDE: 1) CONDUCTING A ZERO SUICIDE ORGANIZATIONAL STUDY INCORPORATING INPUT AND PARTICIPATION OF THE HIGH-RISK POPULATIONS; 2) ENACTING CARE AGREEMENTS WITH COMMUNITY AGENCIES SERVING HIGH-RISK POPULATIONS TO EMBED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH STAFF TO CONDUCT SCREENING AND ENGAGE PERSONS IN TREATMENT; 3) ESTABLISH INPATIENT CARE TRANSITIONS; 4) TRAIN STAFF IN THE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES OF AFFIRM, CAMS, DBT, CRITICAL TIME INTERVENTION, MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID, AND STANLEY-BROWN SAFETY PLANNING; 5) PROVIDE COMMUNITY SUICIDE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION TRAINING TO FAMILIES, CIVIC GROUPS, NON-PROFIT AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES THROUGH TALK SAVES LIVES AND MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID; 6) FIELD A FULL-TIME CHILDREN'S MOBILE CRISIS TEAM AND INTEGRATED HEALTH HOME WRAPAROUND TEAMS; 7) IMPROVE POST-DISCHARGE FOLLOW-UP FOR ENGAGEMENT TO TREATMENT; AND 8) MAKE ENHANCEMENTS TO THE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD TO PROMPT AND TRACK ADHERENCE TO THE SUICIDE CARE PATHWAY AND EBPS FUNDED BY THE OHANA PROJECT. OUTCOMES ARE MEASURED BY THE REDUCTION IN SUICIDES IN THESE COUNTIES, ENGAGEMENT OF SCREENED PERSONS IN TREATMENT, PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE COMPLETING THE SUICIDE CARE PATHWAY, MOBILE CRISIS DIVERSION RATE, PERSONS RECEIVING AN OUTREACH SERVICE WITHIN 12-24 HOURS POST DISCHARGE, THE 30-DAY FOLLOW-UP RATE POST DISCHARGE, AND IMPROVEMENT IN FUNCTIONING AND REDUCTION IN IMPAIRMENT OF CHILDREN ENROLLED IN THE HEALTH HOME TEAMS. A TOTAL OF 800 UNDUPLICATED PERSONS WILL BE SERVED OVER FOUR YEARS, WITH 175 IN YEAR ONE, 225 IN YEAR TWO, 225 IN YEAR THREE, AND 175 IN YEAR FOUR.

EMS TRAINING FOR AEMT & PARAMEDICS - WE ARE REQUESTING SAMHSA GRANT FUNDING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL EMS PERSONNEL TO OUR COMMUNITY AMBULANCE SERVICE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE FIVE EMT’S, TWO ACTIVE ADVANCED EMT’S (AEMT) AND TWO PARAMEDICS. WE HAVE TWO EMT’S THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON WEEKDAYS. ONE OF OUR AEMT’S WORKS OUT OF THE AREA WEEKDAYS AND IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS. BOTH OF OUR PARAMEDICS ARE CAREER FIREFIGHTERS AND ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WHEN THEIR SCHEDULES PERMIT. WITH THIS FUNDING FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS, WE WOULD LIKE TO TRAIN 20 EMT’S, SIX ADDITIONAL AEMT’S AND TWO PARAMEDICS. THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO HAVE ADDITIONAL EMT’S FOR DAYTIME COVERAGE AND AT LEAST ONE ALS PROVIDER PER SHIFT. OUR MISSION STATEMENT: BROOKS AMBULANCE, INC. IS A 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT, ALL-VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE SERVICE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL AND COMPASSIONATE MEDICAL CARE TO OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE AN EMERGENCY TRANSPORT SERVICE WITH TWO AMBULANCES THAT ARE LICENSED TO THE PARAMEDIC LEVEL. WE ARE IN RURAL WALDO COUNTY, MAINE AND SERVE THE TOWNS OF BROOKS, JACKSON, MONROE, AND KNOX A TOTAL POPULATION OF 3,520. WE ARE SUPPORTED BY COMMUNITY DONATIONS AND BILL FOR OUR SERVICES. WE RESPOND TO CALLS 375 CALLS PER YEAR IN OUR COMMUNITY OF 3,520 WITH 11 ACTIVE EMS PERSONNEL. ALL THESE MEMBERS OF OUR SERVICE HAVE “REGULAR” JOBS OR ARE STUDENTS THAT TAKE THEM OUT OF TOWN DURING THE WEEKDAYS. THIS LEAVES ONE OR SOMETIMES TWO EMT’S AVAILABLE DURING THE DAY. EVENING AND OVERNIGHT SHIFTS ARE BEING COVERED BY A SMALL GROUP OF DEDICATED PEOPLE THAT MUST WORK THE NEXT DAY. OUR COMMUNITY CONSISTS OF THE TOWNS OF BROOKS, JACKSON, MONROE, AND KNOX A COMBINED POPULATION OF 3520 RESIDENTS USING 2020 CENSUS NUMBERS. WE HAVE SEEN A 7% INCREASE IN POPULATION IN THE LAST 10 YEARS WHILE THE COUNTY OF WALDO HAS SEEN AN INCREASE OF 2.6%. IF WE DIVIDE THE PROJECT COST OF $439,949.00 BY 3520 RESIDENTS THE COST PER RESIDENT IS $125.00 ANNUALLY. IF WE AMORTIZE THAT OVER 20 YEARS, THE COST PER RESIDENT DROPS TO $6.25 PER YEAR. THE BROOKS AMBULANCE WILL ESTABLISH A TRAINING PROGRAM FOR EMT’S, AEMT’S AND PARAMEDICS IN OUR AREA. THIS WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR 20 COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO BE TRAINED AND LICENSED AS EMT’S. WE WILL ALSO TRAIN 6 CURRENT EMT’S TO ADVANCE THEIR LICENSES TO THE ADVANCED EMT OR AEMT LEVEL. AN AEMT IN THE STATE OF MAINE IS LICENSED TO PROVIDE ALL OF THE BASIC LIFE-SAVING (BLS) SKILLS THAT AN EMT CAN PERFORM AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL INTERVENTIONS WITH EQUIPMENT AND MEDICATIONS. WE WILL ALSO TRAIN 2 CURRENTLY LICENSED AEMT’S TO THE PARAMEDIC LEVEL. IN MAINE A LICENSED PARAMEDIC IS ALLOWED TO PERFORM NUMEROUS LIFESAVING SKILLS AS WELL AS ADMINISTER 40 DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS AND OPERATE A HOST OF DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. TRAINING TO BE A PARAMEDIC REQUIRES A SUBSTANTIAL COMMITMENT ON THE PART OF THE STUDENT. THERE IS 1400 HOURS OF TRAINING ALONE. ALL THIS IS CRAMMED INTO A ONE-YEAR COURSE WITH CLASSES AND CLINICAL STUDIES ON NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS. WE HAVE SEVERAL CURRENT AEMT’S INTERESTED IN MAKING THE COMMITMENT. WE WILL MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS AND WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY CANDIDATE FOR ANY REASON. ONCE WE HAVE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF STUDENTS, WE WILL COMPLETE THEIR TRAINING OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD. THIS TRAINING WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A COMBINATION OF DISTANCE LEARNING, CLASSROOM AND HANDS ON SKILL TRAINING AS NEEDED. WE WILL PREPARE THESE STUDENTS TO TEST AND CERTIFY TO A NATIONAL STANDARD FOR EMT’S, AEMT’S AND PARAMEDIC. THAT STANDARD IS CALLED THE NATIONAL REGISTRY OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS OR NREMT. WE HAVE ESTABLISHED A TIER 2 NALOXONE DISTRIBUTION CENTER AT OUR FACILITY AND HOPE TO TRAIN THE OVER THREE HUNDRED WALDO COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS EMS PROVIDERS TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS OF OVERDOSE AND ADMINISTER NALOXONE DURING AN OVERDOSE. WE WILL ALSO TRAIN THESE SAME THREE HUNDRED FIREFIGHTERS AND LOCAL EMS PROVIDERS ON HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND DEAL WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) AND MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THEMSELVES, THEIR FELLOW FIREFIGHTERS AND EMS PERSONNEL.

INTRODUCING YOUNG CHILDREN TO BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE WITH A SCREENLESS INTERACTIVE DEVICE (INFINIBOOK) - PARENTS AND EDUCATORS FACE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES IN DELIVERING EARLY STEM AND BIOMEDICAL EDUCATION EFFECTIVELY. A MAJOR OBSTACLE IS THE LACK OF ENGAGING AND AGE-APPROPRIATE SCREEN-FREE RESOURCES FOR YOUNG LEARNERS WHO ARE STILL LEARNING TO READ. MOST EDUCATIONAL CONTENT AVAILABLE IS GEARED TOWARDS OLDER CHILDREN AND ADULTS, WITH COMPLEX LANGUAGE AND CONCEPTS THAT ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE TO PRESCHOOLERS OR EARLY PRIMARY STUDENTS. CALI’S BOOKS’ SOLUTION, THE INFINIBOOK PLATFORM, REPRESENTS A TRANSFORMATIVE LEAP IN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY BY INTEGRATING ADVANCED DIGITAL FEATURES INTO A TRADITIONAL BOOK FORMAT, COMBINING THE TACTILE COMFORT AND COGNITIVE BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL BOOKS WITH THE INTERACTIVITY OF MODERN DIGITAL TOOLS. THIS INNOVATION SEAMLESSLY MERGES HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TO DELIVER A UNIQUE, ENGAGING, PERSONALIZED LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. IN THE NIH SBIR PROJECT, “INTRODUCING YOUNG CHILDREN TO BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE WITH A SCREENLESS INTERACTIVE DEVICE (INFINIBOOK),” THE TEAM WILL DEVELOP AND LAUNCH THE INTERACTIVE SMARTY CATS BIOMEDICAL BOOK SERIES, AIMING TO GET THESE BOOKS INTO THE HANDS OF AS MANY CHILDREN AGED 4 TO 7 AS POSSIBLE, BOTH AT HOME AND IN SCHOOLS. THE FAST-TRACK PROJECT AIMS TO DISSEMINATE BIOMEDICAL KNOWLEDGE AND SPARK AN EARLY INTEREST IN SCIENCE, FOSTERING FUTURE VOCATIONS IN THE BIOMEDICAL FIELD. SMARTY CATS IS DESIGNED TO TEACH BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE CONCEPTS THROUGH HUMOR, ENGAGING STORYTELLING, AND INTERACTIVE GAMES AND ACTIVITIES. THE INFINIBOOK WILL USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO LEARN A USER’S LEVEL AND PERSONALIZE “SMARTY CATS” AUDIO CONTENT TO ENSURE THE MATERIAL IS ENGAGING AND APPROPRIATE FOR USERS’ AGE AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE. THE PHASE I GOAL IS TO DEVELOP THE FIRST “SMARTY CATS” BOOK AND EXAMINE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE CONTENT, THE USER EXPERIENCE, AND ITS SUCCESS AT ENGAGING STUDENTS FROM PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIRST GRADE. IN PHASE II, WE WILL CONTINUE WITH TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS TO PREPARE THE SMARTY CATS INFINIBOOKLET AND THE INTERACTIVE INFINIBOOK PLATFORM FOR A LARGER PHASE II STUDY AND COMMERCIALIZATION. WE WILL INTEGRATE LEARNINGS FROM PHASE I INTO THE FIRST SMARTY CATS BOOK, ITERATIVELY DEVELOP THE FOLLOWING THREE BOOKS IN THE SERIES, EXAMINE THE CONTENT VALIDITY AND PROTOTYPE USABILITY WITH PREK-1ST GRADE STUDENTS IN A TEACHER USABILITY TEST, AND CONDUCT A LARGE-SCALE PRE-POST TRIAL TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THE SMARTY CATS INFINIBOOKLET PROTOTYPES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES ON STUDENT OUTCOMES IN PRE-K-1ST GRADE CLASSROOMS. UPON SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING PHASE II, CB WILL HAVE DEVELOPED BIOMEDICAL CONTENT SUITABLE FOR EARLY EDUCATION AND THE FRAMEWORK TO CONTINUE PRODUCING A WIDE RANGE OF STEM CONTENT FOR THE INFINIBOOK FOR FUTURE COMMERCIAL RELEASE. THE SOLUTION WILL PROVIDE A SCREEN-FREE, PERSONALIZED TACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCE THAT PROMOTES COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT THE DRAWBACKS OF EXCESSIVE SCREEN TIME. BY PROMOTING EARLY HEALTH LITERACY AND SCIENTIFIC CURIOSITY, THE “SMARTY CATS” BOOKS AND INFINIBOOK PLATFORM CAN ENHANCE INDIVIDUAL LEARNING EXPERIENCES, CONTRIBUTE TO BROADER SOCIETAL GOALS OF IMPROVED HEALTH AWARENESS AND SCIENTIFIC ENGAGEMENT IN YOUNG CHILDREN, AND INSPIRE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.

HEAD START

NOOKSACK SDPI FY 2023 - THE NOOKSACK TRIBE IS LOCATED IN A RURAL AREA IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF WASHINGTON STATE NEAR THE CANADIAN BORDER. THE TRIBE OWNS POCKETS OF LAND SPREAD OUT WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES OF DEMING, EVERSON, SUMAS, NOOKSACK AND LYNDEN IN WHATCOM COUNTY, WASHINGTON. THE CITY OF BELLINGHAM IS ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY. THE DIABETES PROGRAM SERVES THE NOOKSACK SERVICE AREA. THE ACTIVE USER POPULATION IS 1742. 126 INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 84 ACTIVE PATIENTS ON THE DIABETES REGISTER WHO RECEIVE CARE AT THE CLINIC. THE DIABETES PROGRAM STARTED IN 1998 WITH THE CREATION OF A DIABETES REGISTER AND HIRING OF A CERTIFIED DIABETES EDUCATOR (CDE) NUTRITIONIST. THE GOALS OF THE DIABETES PROGRAM ARE TO 1) PROMOTE EARLY TREATMENT OF DIABETES, 2) PREVENT COMPLICATIONS IN INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES, 3) PROMOTE EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES, AND 4) PREVENT DIABETES IN TRIBAL MEMBERS WHO MAY BE AT RISK FOR DIABETES THE DIABETES PROGRAM OPERATES OUT OF THE NOOKSACK HEALTH CLINIC. THE CLINIC IS STAFFED WITH MEDICAL PROVIDERS - 1 DO, 1 PEDIATRICIAN, 2 ARNPS, 8 RN AND LPN STAFF, 1 RD,CDE AND A MEDICAL SOCIAL WORKER. THE TRIBE ALSO OPERATES A WIC CLINIC. MEDICAL PROVIDERS WORK CLOSELY WITH THE DIABETES PROGRAM AND ARE MEMBERS OF THE DIABETES TEAM. THE DIABETES TEAM MEETS MONTHLY TO REVIEW AND UPDATE THE DIABETES REGISTER, REVIEW PATIENT OUTCOMES AND ASSIST WITH PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING DIABETES PROGRAM EDUCATION AND PREVENTION ACTIVITIES. THE PROGRAM WORKS WITH OTHER HEALTH PROGRAMS INCLUDING DENTAL AND FITNESS AND HAS SUPPORT FROM ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF WHO OVERSEE OUR PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND BUDGET. OUR BEST PRACTICE FOR 2023 IS HEPATITIS C SCREENING WHICH WE CHOSE BECAUSE RECENT AUDITS REVEALED THAT THE % OF DIABETES PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN SCREENED WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE AREA AND IHS %. OUR ACTIVITIES FOR THE BEST PRACTICE INCLUDE: IDENTIFY PATIENTS WHO ARE DUE FOR HCV SCREENING, REVIEW GUIDELINES AND TESTING PROCEDURES FOR HCV SCREENING WITH MEDICAL PROVIDERS, EDUCATE PATIENTS ON THE RATIONALE FOR SCREENING AND PROVIDE INCENTIVES TO ENCOURAGE PATIENTS TO BE SCREENED. THE FOCUS OF THE DIABETES PROGRAM BEEN DIABETES CARE AND EDUCATION. WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN PROVIDING DIABETES RELATED EDUCATION TO THE MAJORITY OF THE PATIENTS ON OUR DIABETES REGISTER AND HAVE SEEN IMPROVEMENT IN PATIENT CARE AND OUTCOMES. WE PLAN TO CONTINUE EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND DEVOTE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF DIABETES FUNDS TO A PORTION OF THE SALARY FOR A REGISTERED DIETITIAN. THE DIABETES PROGRAM FUNDS DIABETES PREVENTION ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON INCREASING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND PROMOTING HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES. THESE INCLUDE FITNESS/HEALTH CHALLENGES, COOKING CLASSES, FOOD DEMONSTRATIONS AND SUPPORT FOR 2 COMMUNITY GARDENS. WE RECRUIT AND PAY REGISTRATION FEES FOR TRIBAL MEMBERS TO PARTICIPATE IN A LOCAL JINGLE BELL RUN AND FUND PASSES TO A LOCAL AQUATIC CENTER. DIABETES FUNDS SUPPORT A NUMBER OF ATHLETIC TEAMS WITH REGISTRATION FEES, UNIFORMS AND TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR TOURNAMENTS AND COMPETITIONS INCLUDING YOUTH BASKETBALL, ADULT CO-ED SOFTBALL, CANOE CLUBS, AND CROSS-FIT PARTICIPANTS. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS INTEGRAL TO WEIGHT MANAGEMENT AND BLOOD SUGAR, BLOOD PRESSURE AND LIPID CONTROL. HELPING TO SUSTAIN ACTIVITIES THAT ARE OF INTEREST TO THE COMMUNITY HELPS TO MEET OUR GOAL OF DIABETES PREVENTION AND REDUCED RISK OF COMPLICATIONS. FUNDS ARE USED FOR ASSISTANCE WITH EYE EXAMS, FOOT CARE SUPPLIES, DENTAL SUPPLIES AND LIBRE READERS AND SENSORS TO HELP PATIENTS ACHIEVE TREATMENT GOALS AND MEET THE STANDARDS OF CARE.

SBIR PHASE I: NOVEL DEVICE TO ENHANCE THE TRADITIONAL PAPER BOOK READING EXPERIENCE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN -THE BROADER/COMMERCIAL IMPACT OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE, SCREENLESS, INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL DEVICE FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. THE PROJECT WILL BRING TO MARKET A BOOK-LIKE DEVICE THAT DELIVERS AUDIO CONTENT WHEN THE PAGES ARE PRESSED, ESTABLISHING THE VIABILITY OF DELIVERING MIXED-MEDIA INTERACTIVE CONTENT IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS FOR CHILDREN FROM KINDERGARTEN TO SECOND GRADE. BY PERFORMING A SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF HOW CHILDREN ENGAGE WITH CONTENT ON THE DEVICE RELATIVE TO THE SAME CONTENT IN PAPER AND TABLET FORM, THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO PROVE THE BENEFITS OF ALTERNATIVE, SCREENLESS, INTERACTIVE LEARNING. THE PROJECT LEVERAGES FUNDAMENTAL EDUCATIONAL SCIENCE. IT ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE PUBLIC SCIENTIFIC LITERACY AND ENGAGEMENT WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE UNITED STATES WHILE OFFERING IMPORTANT HEALTH BENEFITS BY REDUCING SCREEN ADDICTION IN YOUNG CHILDREN. EXCESSIVE SCREEN TIME HAS BEEN LINKED TO A RANGE OF NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES, INCLUDING INCREASED RISK OF OBESITY, DECREASED SLEEP QUALITY, AND IMPAIRED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE PROJECT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GENERATE SIGNIFICANT REVENUE BY COMMERCIALIZING THE DEVICE BOTH DIRECTLY TO CONSUMERS AND THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS. THIS PROJECT WILL SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE, SCREENLESS LEARNING TOOL FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, BY SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY INTO A TRADITIONAL BOOK FORMAT. THE PROPOSED PLATFORM CONSISTS OF THREE MAJOR COMPONENTS: A BOOK COVER THAT HOUSES SWAPPABLE BOOK INSERTS, EMBEDDED ELECTRONICS THAT PLAY AUDIO IN RESPONSE TO A PAGE TOUCH, AND SOFTWARE THAT POWERS INTERACTIONS AND CONNECTIVITY. A MICROCONTROLLER RECOGNIZES AN INSERTED PAPER BOOK AND OFFERS A PERSONALIZED INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE USING CONTENT STORED ON THE DEVICE. BUTTON ICONS PRINTED ON THE BOOK PAGES LINE UP PRECISELY WITH A PHYSICAL BUTTON GRID EMBEDDED IN THE DEVICE, SUPPORTING LEARNING ACTIVITIES. THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT REQUIRES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THREE HARDWARE COMPONENTS AND THREE SOFTWARE COMPONENTS THAT SEAMLESSLY WORK TOGETHER IN A CONNECTED ECOSYSTEM. THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING A WORKABLE DEVICE THAT CAN BE BROUGHT TO MARKET AND SOLD TO CUSTOMERS, RELEASING AN INITIAL STORY-BASED CONTENT LIBRARY, AND CONDUCTING A USER-TESTING STUDY TO LEARN ABOUT HOW CHILDREN ENGAGE WITH THE DEVICE RELATIVE TO SCREEN-BASED ALTERNATIVES. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

PROTOTYPE MULTIMEDIA ADRD FALLS PREVENTION SYSTEM FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS - ABSTRACT FALLS ARE A COMMON AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IN PERSONS WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT DUE TO ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS (PWADRD). FALL COSTS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH $67.7 BILLION THIS YEAR AND ADD TO FAMILY CAREGIVER (CG) BURDEN. INJURIOUS FALLS ARE A FREQUENT REASON PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO REMAIN AT HOME, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED CARE COSTS TO THE FAMILY AND SOCIETY. MOST FP EFFORTS FAIL TO ADDRESS UNDERSTANDING FALL RISKS OR CHANGING BEHAVIOR. IN RESPONSE TO NIA REQUESTS FOR ‘CARE TECHNOLOGY TO SUSTAIN IN-HOME LIVING, PRESERVE FUNCTION AND PROMOTE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION’, AN INNOVATIVE FALLS PREVENTION INTERVENTION FOR USE BY CGS OF PWADRD LIVING AT HOME WHO ARE CLASSIFIED AS AT MODERATE TO HIGH FALL RISK FOR FALLS WILL BE DEVELOPED AND TESTED. GOAL: DEVELOP FALLSCAPE FOR DEMENTIA (FS-D), AN INNOVATIVE CG-PROVIDED DAILY TREATMENT UTILIZING PROPRIETARY MULTIMEDIA AND BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTION METHODS TO FACILITATE COMMUNICATION AND ENCOURAGE FP BEHAVIORS THAT WILL REDUCE PWADRD FALLS. THE RIGOROUS PHASE 1 RESEARCH PLAN WILL: A) DEVELOP A FS-D PROTOTYPE THAT INCLUDES CG TRAINING SOFTWARE, MULTIMEDIA AND SUPPORT TOOLS TO CUSTOMIZE, CONDUCT AND REVIEW PROGRESS IN DAILY CG-PROVIDED SESSIONS; B) PERFORM PILOT TESTING AND C) CONDUCT A MIXED METHODS PRELIMINARY CLINICAL TRIAL. SPECIFIC AIMS AND MILESTONES/DELIVERABLES ARE: A) DEVELOP PROTOTYPE; 1. PRODUCE MULTIMEDIA ASSETS; 2. CRAFT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHMS; 3. CREATE CG TRAINING/DAILY ADMINISTRATION TOOLS. B) PILOT TEST PROTOTYPE. 1. TEST CG EASE OF USE AND ACCEPTABILITY; 2. EXAMINE CUSTOMIZATION FOR CG AND DEMENTIA SUB-TYPES; 3. ITERATE AS NECESSARY; 4. EVALUATE INTERVENTION RELEVANCE AND DYAD ENGAGEMENT. C) CONDUCT PRELIMINARY STUDY. 1. RECRUIT AND ENROLL 20 CG-PWADRD DYADS REPRESENTING THOSE WITH ALZHEIMER’S, VASCULAR, LEWY-BODY AND PARKINSON’S DISEASE DEMENTIAS; 2. PROVIDE STUDY COMPONENTS: INITIAL; ONE-MONTH FS-D INTERVENTION AND A FOLLOW-UP EVALUATION; 3. MEASUREMENT OF LONG, MEDIUM AND SHORT -TERM OUTCOMES FOR PWADRD AND FOR CG; 4. ASSESS FEASIBILITY BY EVALUATING QUANTITATIVE OUTCOMES USING A REPEATED MEASURES DESIGN TO CONTROL FOR ANTICIPATED HIGH BETWEEN-SUBJECT VARIANCE AND COMPARING QUALITATIVE FS-D OUTCOME MEASURES TO PRE-DETERMINED THRESHOLD VALUES AS DESCRIBED IN THE RESEARCH STRATEGY. FS-D WILL OFFER A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO EMPOWER BOTH CG AND PWADRD BY BREAKING THE FRUSTRATING CYCLE OF FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE FALL THREATS OR CHANGE BEHAVIOR AND MAY MITIGATE CG BURDEN. FS-D IS AN URGENTLY NEEDED FALLS PREVENTION INTERVENTION FOR FAMILY CG USE. THE ECONOMIC AND QUALITY OF LIFE BENEFITS OF SUSTAINING IN-HOME LIVING FOR PWADRD BY PREVENTING FALLS WILL ACCRUE TO ALL STAKEHOLDERS FOR THIS LARGE, HIGH-RISK POPULATION.
