DemiCare+

The DemiCare+ project aims to implement an integrated solution for preventing depression in Informal caregivers of persons with dementia (PwD). The project will be based on the personalized information and training offer of the existing DemiCare app – a fully automated self-help preventive intervention that already provides interventions on how to deal with behavioural problems of PwD and for increasing caregiving competency.   

Aims 

DemiCare+ aims at complementing this offer by providing a holistic approach for assessing and supporting caregiver resilience.  

(Expected) results 

Beyond specific recommendations for integrating the Demicare+ intervention in European health and social ecosystems, results of the implementation phase will also enable the creation of general guidelines for the uptake of digital health preventive interventions.
