The risk of developing dementia increases with age.Via using assessment tools, early observations, and diagnosis to alleviate the progression of disease, is one of the main goals of the Dementia Medical Team. In fact, nowadays clinical evaluation forms are still paper-based, which is not only difficult to store, but also unable to instantly access. Therefore, the researcher used the Excel VBA macro functions to build a simple electronic evaluation interface for clinical and community using as a screening tool for Dementia. However, one of the significant factors for the system or interface to work is related to the willingness to use. System quality, easy to operate, easy to adapt and simplify the examining processes that make the users feel their problems are solved. If the system can also give suggestions based on the examination results automatically, it will certainly help the busy medical professionals to increase work efficiency. In order to understand whether the built-in interface meets the needs of medical professionals, the researchers used questionnaires to collect and analyze data. A total of 80 questionnaires were distributed and 72 were collected, all of which were valid questionnaires. The results of the questionnaire showed that the Perceive Usefulness to the interface has a stronger and significant effect than the Perceive Ease of Use. The current hospital supervisors, medical professionals who can use computer proficiently and long-term care workers have a strong positive response to the satisfaction of use.
