Dementia caregiver tracking study pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT07116122
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to see if a tracking system called Care Companion could help family caregivers of people with dementia who are at risk of wandering. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available. It would have asked caregivers about their well-being and how useful the device was.
