Formalised results of pretesting I and II activities

In this deliverable, we present, structure and interpret the formalised results of all testing activities that have been carried out thus far in REACH. We first (Chapter 2) introduce the detailed testing strategy of REACH, which details and brings forward previously described conceptual provisions (see Deliverables D4, D9 and D29) and responds to previous reviewer comments (R5 and R6, second review, November 2017; aiming at the improved emphasis of geriatric and medical aspects and their normalisation across Touchpoints and project activities). In response to the reviewers’ comments, REACH re-aligned some of its resources and formed a medical/geriatric task force (SK, HUG, DTU, TUM), which analyses and streamlines testing activities across Touchpoints, clarifies the common goals and measures, and works towards a normalisation of study designs and tools used across the project. We outline in this context the overall hypothesis for the REACH system along with four well-defined sub-hypotheses for each Touchpoint. Based on this, in Chapter 3, we present our methodological approach with regard to testing in REACH and provide an overview and a classification system for all testing activities carried out. Accordingly, in Chapter 4, we present the results (documentation of the carried-out testing activities), and in Chapter 5, we interpret the testing results. Chapter 6 summarises the state of play regarding testing in REACH and outlines the next steps and upcoming activities. The Appendix contains the full trial reports sorted according to a variety of items.     «
