used (Figure 2). These data also highlight groupwise differences between the PCA and control groups, for example the PCA group was significantly more likely to repeat the wake word when using the devices (p< 0.034, U1⁄424877238). Conclusions:For this group of people with PCA the Amazon Echo facilitated independence overall. The Echo is also a useful device for collecting large, rich datasets from people with dementia in a naturalistic setting. We hope that findings from this proof of concept trial can inform further research into voice-assistive technologies for people with dementia. References: 1. Firth et al, arXiv:1706.06176 [cs.HC].
