Program Theory and Core Outcome Set Development for a Technology-Assisted Counseling Intervention in Dementia: Multimethods Study

A carefully modeled intervention that combines technological options with in-person counseling may help to overcome disparities in access to health care and improve accessibility to counseling. A supportive working environment for counselors, in which artificial intelligence is used to reduce time spent on documentation and administrative tasks, may help mitigate the effects of the growing shortage of skilled professionals.
