Testing & Refinement of CarePair: An Assessment and Referral Platform to Support Family Caregivers of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias.
This trial is testing CarePair, a smartphone app designed to help family caregivers of people with dementia find support services and manage their own stress. Researchers want to know if using the app for six weeks reduces caregiver burnout, depression, and feelings of being overwhelmed. This is a feasibility and acceptability study, meaning they are still refining the tool rather than proving it works at scale.
