Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
An exploratory pilot randomized controlled trial was carried out with a mixed-methods design. Twenty persons with mild dementia and carer dyads were randomly assigned to the FindMyApps group (n = 10) that used the FindMyApps training and selection tool, or a control condition that just got a tablet (n = 10). After informal carers had received the training, the dyads in the experimental group started with the three-month intervention. Pre and post-test measurements consisted of questionnaires and post-test semi-structured interviews.
