Summary

This study is developing and testing an online platform called LEND that shares personal stories from people with dementia and their carers. The goal is to see if these relatable narratives can boost wellbeing, confidence, and quality of life for both groups. The trial involves interviews, user testing, and a small feasibility study with 60 participants to assess whether the approach is acceptable and practical for a larger future trial.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Online LEND Intervention - a web-based platform providing personalised lived-experience narratives for people with dementia and their carers
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, accessible way to support emotional wellbeing and confidence for people with dementia and their carers, potentially improving quality of life without medication.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study, so the intervention is still being designed and tested for usability. It may not show clear benefits, and results may not apply to everyone with dementia.
