First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested a mobile app designed to teach family caregivers how to prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in bedridden patients. 46 patient-caregiver pairs took part, with half using the app for 6 months and the other half receiving standard care. The app provided education, daily care reminders, and a way to ask a nurse questions. Researchers measured whether the app reduced caregiver burden, improved coping with stress, and prevented new bedsores.
