Summary

This study aims to develop a mobile app for caregivers and tests its feasibility for a period of 8 weeks. A mixed-method study design with both qualitative and quantitative components will be used. A maximum of 36 caregivers will be involved in the six focus groups. Each focus group interview will involve 6 caregivers of persons with dementia. Another 30 caregivers will be involved in the 8-week trial use of the app. Each focus group interview will last for about 1.5 hours, facilitated by a moderator. Before and after the 8-week trial use of the app, four outcome measures (Zarit Burden Interview, Self-rated Health, Patient Health Questionnaire, and Modified Medical Outcome Study Social Support Survey) will be taken. This study will provide evidence of the feasibility of the use of the newly developed app among caregivers.
