Dementia Family Caregiver Study
This trial tests a 3-month home visit program delivered by community health workers to family caregivers of people with dementia. Caregivers wear a smartwatch and smart ring so researchers can track stress and sleep in real time. The program teaches mindful breathing and provides culturally appropriate support in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, or Korean. This is a Phase NA behavioral study — it is evaluating a care program, not a drug or device meant to treat disease.
You may qualify if
- a relative of community dwelling person with dementia (i.e., Alzheimer's Disease or related dementias)
- providing primary care for the person with dementia
- willing to wear monitoring devices (a smartwatch during day time and a smartring during night time for 3 months
- self-reporting ethnicity/race as Korean, Vietnamese, Latino/Hispanic, or non-Hispanic Whites with the following languages spoken in this study: English, Spanish, Vietnamese, or Korean.
You're excluded if
- cognitive impairment that precludes an individual from understanding the consent process and completing surveys (for those aged 65 or older as assessed by Mini-Cog)
- chronic drug abuse
- currently active cancer treatment
- need hospice care
- other significant health problems (i.e., having pacemaker, epilepsy or neurologic disorder) that exclude wearing a smartwatch and a smartring
