Summary
This study is developing and testing a screening tool and a support program (called SIRENS) for caregivers of people with dementia. The goal is to help doctors identify when caregivers are struggling and provide them with expert-reviewed information and goal-setting tools through a mobile app. In this early phase, 40 caregivers will test the app and give feedback on how easy and useful it is to use.

If successful, this could provide a practical tool for doctors to identify caregiver strain and offer targeted support, potentially reducing elder neglect.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small pilot study (40 participants) focused on usability, not effectiveness. The app may not be helpful for all caregivers, and results may not apply broadly.
