NCT07444866 · NOT YET RECRUITING
Machine Learning Enabled Management of Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia Intervention for Dementia Caregivers
This trial is testing a machine learning tool designed to help family caregivers manage the difficult behavioral and psychological symptoms that come with dementia — things like agitation, anxiety, and sleep problems in the person they care for. It uses a smartphone app combined with human coaching, and researchers are comparing different levels of support to see what works best. Phase NA means this is a practical, real-world intervention study rather than a drug trial.
You may qualify if
- aged 18 above
- family caregiver of an individual with a confirmed medical diagnosis of any type of dementia who has been residing in the community
- having been providing care for ADLs and IADLs for at least 20 hours per week for at least one year prior to recruitment
- have a smartphone
- have mild to moderate stress (the 14-item Chinese version Perceived Stress Scale).
You're excluded if
- having participated in any structured mind-body intervention, cognitive therapy, or structured psychosocial intervention in the 6 months prior to recruitment
- having acute psychiatric and medical comorbidities that are potentially life-threatening (e.g. suicidal ideation) or that limit the caregivers' participation or adherence (e.g. acute psychosis)
