First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a training program for volunteers aged 50 and over can improve their knowledge about dementia, confidence in caregiving, and quality of life. Participants either receive 80-90 hours of BrainLive Coach training or just educational materials. The goal is to see if trained volunteers are better prepared to support people with dementia in the community.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that training older volunteers enhances dementia knowledge and care skills, potentially improving community support for people with dementia.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on training outcomes, not a direct treatment. Results may not lead to changes in dementia care or health outcomes.
