Description
Chetna Malhotra and a large team build and pilot a phone app ecosystem for people caring for family members with dementia, in a study from 2025. Caregivers carry heavy stress, and generic apps rarely fit their personal situation. A theory-driven, tailored design was the aim.
The app bundles personal assessments with matched advice, a chatbot, location tracking, peer support, a helpline, telemedicine, and self-care content. Caregiver interviews shaped development before two pilot rounds. Usability scores rose across rounds and passed the standard benchmark, and the second pilot scored near the top of a mobile health scale. Caregivers praised the dementia guidance and well-being content.
