Effects of the mHealth Supportive Care Program for Family Caregivers of Individuals With Dementia and Diabetes: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

This theoretically grounded mHealth supportive care program effectively reduced burden and improved outcomes for FCGs managing dementia-diabetes comorbidity. The integrated online-offline delivery model shows particular promise for male, younger, manual labor, and lower-income caregivers, suggesting mHealth's potential to address health equity. These findings provide a feasible model for scalable caregiver support in resource-limited primary care settings. Future research should involve multicenter trials with longer follow-up and cost-effectiveness analyses.
