Summary
This study tests a smartphone app that delivers short mindfulness exercises to family caregivers of people with dementia. The app aims to reduce stress by offering help exactly when it is needed. About 195 caregivers with moderate to high stress will use the app for 20 days, and researchers will measure changes in stress, mood, and caregiving burden.
