About this study

Official title: Pilot Study to Identify the Benefits CAREGIVERSPRO-MMD Platform Use Based on the Information and Communications Technology, Dedicated to the Support and Assistance of Dyads Living With Neurocognitive Diseases Including Persons Living With Mild Cognitive Impairment or Mild to Moderate Dementia and Their Primary Caregivers

Our main goal is to test a web platform accessible by computers, smartphones and tablets, addressed specifically to caregivers and people with mild cognitive deterioration or mild to moderate dementia providing added value services based on social networks, adapted interventions, clinic strategies and gamification to improve the quality of life of caregivers and people living with dementia (dyads) and permitting to leave in the community as long as possible.

To evaluate the platform effectiveness and impact in dementia type disease affected people and caregivers a randomized, controlled, parallel, longitudinal is proposed. The objective will be to assess during 18 months aspects related to health of individuals (general aspect of health, neuropsychological, daily living functionalities, quality of life, treatment adherence, comorbidities ...), social aspects (improving dyad relationship…) and economics (cost-effectiveness of platform utilization), as well as satisfaction degree and usability of platform.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Burden of primary caregivers

    To evaluate the perceived burden of primary caregivers of persons living with mild cognitive impairment or mild to moderate dementia in order to identify a benefit from use of the CAREGIVERSPRO-MMD platform.
