NCT ID NCT07250113
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a website tool called WeCareToFeedDysphagia to see if it reduces stress and burden for people caring for older adults with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias who also have trouble swallowing. About 800 caregivers will be split into two groups: one gets access to the tool plus text reminders, the other gets only standard contact info for a swallowing expert. All participants fill out online surveys at the start, one month, and three months after the patient leaves the hospital.
