Description

Dassel and six co-authors describe building a web platform that helps people with dementia and their care partners plan future care. Their LEAD Guide walks families through values, preferences, and end-of-life wishes as thinking changes. The team turned the paper guide into an interactive online program.

Sixty community pairs took part in a pilot, working through planning talks and documents with built-in lessons. A community advisory board, including dementia experts and affected families, shaped the design through surveys and focus groups. They asked for simpler navigation, more personal messages, and easier feedback forms. The authors say end-user input at every step makes such tools workable.
