Can a smartphone app ease the strain on family caregivers?
NCT ID NCT07348081
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a digital app called MyMonka can help family caregivers of older adults who have been discharged from the emergency department. About 100 caregiver-patient pairs will use the app for 3 months, and researchers will measure changes in caregiver stress and quality of life. The goal is to see if technology can reduce the burden on unpaid caregivers.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple digital tool to reduce stress and improve quality of life for family caregivers of vulnerable adults.
