Phase N/A

Taking care of someone with dementia can be really stressful and affect how a caregiver feels mentally. This study is about testing a new app called UR Caregiver, which helps caregivers manage their stress. The app uses a method called cognitive behavioral principles to teach stress management skills. In this study, caregivers will be put into one of three groups: using the app, active control, or no app. The app group will use it for 8 weeks, and the researchers will check stress and mental health before, right after, and sometime later. This study is looking for caregivers who mainly take care of someone with dementia and have a smartphone or tablet. Those who already use similar apps can't join.

  • Study duration is 8 weeks.
  • Participants will need to use the app during the study.
  • Caregivers will have their stress and mental health checked at different times.
