A Study to Evaluate Caregiver Connections Via Technology for Patients With Alzheimer's and Other Types of Dementia
Fostering Caregiver Connections Via Intentional Technology Pairing for Caregivers of Patients With Alzheimer's Disease and Other Types of Dementia-Phase 2
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Nov 2022
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This research is being done to develop a unique matching process for caregivers of persons living with dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal degeneration, or other dementia syndromes. Dementia caregivers often assume greater caregiving burden than do non-dementia caregivers, and the caregiving duration tends to be longer. Many caregivers do not have the adequate support they need. Peer-to-peer support has been shown to improve quality of life, increase use of services, improve caregiver health, and reduce hospitalizations in the person they are caring for. This study will assess a technology platform and matching process for the purpose of peer-to-peer emotional support aimed at improving overall wellbeing in dementia care partners/caregivers.
