PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Dementia is a chronic progressive terminal condition. Most care is provided by family caregivers (including close friends); their wellbeing is a public health priority. Caregivers manage increasingly complex needs with disease progression, and declining cognitive and physical function. This can impact the well-being of caregivers, and meaningful support is essential. This review article aims to understand what the benefits and challenges of digital health interventions are and provide considerations for future development of digital health interventions for family caregivers for people with dementia, to improve quality of life.
RECENT FINDINGS: Benefits include the valuable source of support from connective platforms; 24/7 accessibility; and opportunity for remote monitoring. However, this needs to balance with challenges, including the privacy of data concerns; and the digital divide driving inequalities in care provision for family caregivers with no access to internet devices.
SUMMARY: Digital health interventions can positively impact the overall well-being of family caregivers for people with dementia. If challenges are addressed and digital health interventions are designed to meet priorities for family caregivers, this can help improve the quality of life for family caregivers of people with dementia.
