Study Summary
This trial aims to develop a solution that monitors a dementia patient's mood and stress, as well as the caregiver's behavior. The goal is to help improve familial interactions related to caregiving, which over time should reduce strain on caregivers.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 60-90 with documented dementia, including Alzheimer's, who live at home and speak English. Caregivers must be over 21, living with the patient, not paid for their care work, have functioning home Wifi, and experience a certain level of stress as measured by a clinical checklist.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a smart healthcare system that monitors mood and stress in both patients with dementia and their caregivers. It uses machine learning to understand interaction dynamics and provides adaptive recommendations to improve caregiver-patient relationships.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves monitoring systems rather than medications or invasive procedures, traditional physical side effects are not expected. However, there may be privacy concerns or emotional impacts from constant monitoring.
