Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to develop and test the feasibility of a nonmedical digital health intervention, the Spanish-language Caregiver-Enabled Care Program (CECP), with Spanish-speaking caregivers of persons with dementia (PWD). CECP is a nonmedical digital population health intervention that provides personalized education, proactive 1:1 human coaching, and remote monitoring, all delivered via a dedicated tablet shipped to the caregiver's home at no cost to the caregiver or PWD. For this study, the investigators are recruiting 135 patient/caregiver dyads.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For Hispanic/Latino families in the United States (U.S.), care for a loved one with dementia is provided largely by family caregivers. Evidence-based resources that support and engage family caregivers are critical to improving care and outcomes for persons living with dementia and improving the wellness of their family caregiver. However, access to these vital resources is limited for Hispanic/Latino families in the U.S. To address health disparities in dementia care for Hispanic/Latino families in the U.S., the investigators are developing an approach for deploying the proven Caregiver-Enabled Care Program (CECP) to Spanish-speaking caregivers of patients with dementia. For this study, the investigators will enroll 135 Spanish-speaking family caregiver/dementia-patient dyads living in the U.S. who are participants in a Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) or dementia support network or provider. Participation for each caregiver enrolled in the study involves engaging in the Spanish-language CECP for 6 months. The overall duration of the research project is 12 months.

At the conclusion of the study, the investigators expect to show that the highly- scalable approach using Artificial Intelligence (AI) plus human validation provides a Spanish-language CECP that can achieve comparable engagement of the proven English-language CECP. The investigators will measure differences in how Spanish-speaking caregivers engage in education, coaching, and assessments compared to the engagement of English-speaking caregivers. Understanding these differences will allow the investigators to explore potential cultural differences in user engagement and inform future optimization of the program. This Phase 1 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) study is supported by the National Institute On Aging (NIA) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under Award Number R43AG088143.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Caregiver-Enabled Care Group

Caregiver participants will receive Ceresti's Caregiver-Enabled Care Program. (CECP) is a 6-month non-medical digital program that promotes the wellness of family caregivers, and increases their knowledge, skills and confidence ("activation") in caring for a loved one with dementia. CECP delivers personalized health education, access to resources, proactive coaching, personalized support, and remote monitoring via a dedicated tablet that is shipped to the caregiver's home.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Spanish-language Caregiver-Enabled Care Program (CECP)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

CECP is a nonmedical digital population health intervention to support and engage family caregivers of persons with dementia. CECP consists of digital content, including health education videos and tutorials, that is delivered to caregivers on a dedicated tablet based on their specific needs. Caregivers are supported by a proactive human coach who provides support, access to resources, and performs risk mitigation measures as necessary. Alerts are shared with providers and/or care management teams via a data hub that makes it easy to track, manage and resolve alerts. CECP is delivered over a 6-month period via a dedicated tablet that is shipped to the caregiver's home at no cost to the caregiver or person with dementia. This study's CECP is in Spanish.
