Development and Pilot Testing of an Artificial Intelligence and Care Coach Intervention for Cognitively Impaired Older Adults.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCare 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.
methodsWe conducted a three-phase study using a user-centered approach. Phase 1 involved focus groups with key informants to explore care transition experiences. Phase 2 included a design thinking workshop with PLWCI, caregivers, clinicians, and technology experts to co-create the intervention. The final intervention combined a 5-part AI technology application (termed NeuViCare)-planner, task support, resource advisor, care advisor, and community hub-with access to a care coach trained in occupational therapy or nursing. In Phase 3, we pilot tested the intervention in four EDs, measuring caregiver self-efficacy (Fortinsky Caregiver Self-Efficacy scale) and burden (4-item Zarit Caregiver Burden scale).
resultsFocus groups including 15 participants highlighted major ED and transition challenges, emphasizing the need for better communication and support. Workshop participants (n = 23) identified key intervention components. In the pilot, 40 participants enrolled, with 34 completing the 7-day follow-up and 29 completing the 30-day follow-up. Engagement with NeuViCare was high, with caregiver self-efficacy improving from 52.0 at Day 0 to 65.8 at Day 30, and caregiver burden decreasing from 9.2 to 8.2.
conclusionIntegrating AI-driven support with human care coaching shows promise in improving ED care transitions for PLWCI and their caregivers. The intervention enhanced caregiver self-efficacy and modestly reduced burden, suggesting potential for broader implementation.
