About this study
The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility and to estimate efficacy of our app "Brain CareNotes" for dementia caregivers who reside in a rural setting (as defined by RUCA codes 4 through 10). The Brain CareNotes app is designed to reduce informal caregiver burden of those caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) of individuals with ADRD. The study will enroll up to 60 rural caregivers of community-dwelling individuals living with ADRD. Caregivers will be randomized to use the Brain CareNotes app or an attention control education-only app for six months, with usage reminders.
