Onward Door-Through-Door Companion Rideshare Technology to Improve Care for Older Adults and Individuals With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD)
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to assess the impact of D2D rideshare services with a trained companion driver on the rate of medical appointments for older adults and individuals with AD/ADRD. Participants will be assigned either door-through-door (D2D) rideshare or curb-to-curb (C2C) rideshare services. he main question it aims to answer is: Do D2D rideshare services reduce missed medical appointment rates compared to C2C rideshare services?
• All participants (or their surrogate) have the capacity to agree to allow Onward service for transportation;
• have scheduled medical appointments at partner practices of Onward;
• ages 60+
• community-dwelling;
• 60 participants who self-reported cognitive problems, such as memory issue, or have mild cognitive impairment, subjective cognitive decline, or AD/ADRD diagnosis
• Resides and attends appointments in the following San Francisco Bay Area Counties (San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo, Sonoma)
