Areaalzheimer: development of a digital platform for caregivers based on the results of a needs analysis and mixed-methods pilot evaluation process

<i>AreAlzheimer</i> demonstrates the potential of participatory design to create inclusive, effective digital health tools for dementia care. Involving caregivers and people living with dementia enriched the design, promoting autonomy and cognitive sensitivity. Future research will integrate these insights into formal scientific protocols to expand participatory digital health innovations in dementia support.

Abstract

<i>AreAlzheimer</i> demonstrates the potential of participatory design to create inclusive, effective digital health tools for dementia care. Involving caregivers and people living with dementia enriched the design, promoting autonomy and cognitive sensitivity. Future research will integrate these insights into formal scientific protocols to expand participatory digital health innovations in dementia support.
