A Study of Caregiver Connections Via Technology in Dementia (NCT05779839)
Fostering Caregiver Connections Via Intentional Technology Pairing for Caregivers of Patients With Alzheimer's Disease and Other Types of Dementia-Phase 2
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
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, more engagement with services, improve caregiver health, and reduce hospitalizations in the person they are caring for. This study will help determine whether caregivers of persons with dementia would find a technology-based caregiver matching program valuable for the purpose of emotional support.
