ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new training program designed to help caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. The program uses a system called MapHabit, which provides visual tools to help improve the daily care and independence of patients. The trial will involve 50 pairs of patients and their primary caregivers, who will be split into two groups: one group will use the MapHabit system alone, while the other group will use it along with the caregiver training program. The goal is to see if adding this training helps reduce the stress and challenges caregivers face while caring for their loved ones.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must have a diagnosis of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease or related dementia, and their caregiver should be the main person providing daily support. Both the patient and caregiver need to be proficient in English. If you join the study, you can expect to participate for six months and receive support through the MapHabit system, which aims to enhance both your experience and the quality of care provided. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it represents an important step in improving the lives of caregivers and those they care for.
