Summary

This study is testing a mobile app called Care Buddy that helps family caregivers of people with dementia find local services, support groups, and health information. About 210 caregivers in Singapore will use the app for two years. The goal is to see if the app reduces caregiver stress, burden, and isolation while improving their knowledge and well-being.
