Abstract

BACKGROUND: Care transitions from the emergency department (ED) to community settings are particularly challenging for persons living with cognitive impairment (PLWCI) and their caregivers. The chaotic ED environment and limited post-discharge support contribute to poor outcomes and high caregiver burden. This study aimed to develop and pilot test an intervention integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technology and care coaching to enhance post-ED support among PLWCI and their caregivers.
