The primary focus of this pilot is for caregivers to interact with a technological solution for the three major pain points which include; coordinating tasks among a family network, managing medications and tracking symptoms. We also want to explore how caregivers can influence coping strategies amongst each other, and start to develop a database of possible solutions for caregivers that desperately seeking answers.

To be eligible to participate in this study, you must:
1. be a current or former primary caregiver of a family member living with Alzheimer's disease;
2. have access to Internet or smartphone.

Participation in this study will consist of a brief telephone interview and online demographic survey each are estimated to take 15 minutes. The interviews may be arranged in person or over the telephone/Skype.

If you are interested in participating in this study, please contact me at sam@mobiCarehealth.com or fill out the application form at: http://mobicarehealth.wufoo.com/forms/mobicare-pilot-registration/

Subject: Dementia caregiver's perspectives – an online survey
Posted: 01 Jun 2010 at 11:44am

Hello,

My name is Stephen Czarnuch and I am a biomedical engineering PhD student at the University of Toronto, Canada. My research looks to develop intelligent assistive technology that help a person with dementia maintain independence and an improved quality of life for as long as possible, while also reducing the stress and burden on people like you who are responsible for general care. Ultimately, the devices look to keep people with dementia in their own homes for as long as possible. To make sure that the devices are actually useful, I think it's important to understand the relationship between caregiver and person with dementia; particularly the daily challenges faced by both.

If you have experience caring for a person with dementia (as an informal caregiver) I would greatly appreciate you sharing your experience through my online survey at www.iatslsurvey.org. The survey is simple and should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Also, if you are interested in learning more about our research please visit our website at www.iatsl.org or email me at stephen.czarnuch[at]utoronto.ca for more information.

Thank you very much for your help!
