Connecting Caregivers With Community Services: The Care Buddy Platform
This trial is testing Care Buddy, a mobile app designed to connect dementia caregivers with healthcare providers, community services, and peer support in one place. Researchers want to know whether the app reduces caregiver burden and improves outcomes for both caregivers and the people they care for. This is a Phase NA trial, meaning it is a practical usability and effectiveness study rather than a traditional drug trial.
