Development and Evaluation of the DEA App

"The intervention (DEA) group will receive the newly developed app. DEA will consist of three simultaneous modules that provide multidimensional support for informal caregivers aiming to reduce the caregiver burden:~1. Information module~ The information module consists of general information on the disease and the care of people suffering from dementia.~2. Activity module~ The activity module suggests individualized activities and physical fitness exercises by a self-learning algorithm, which supports the caregiver to deliver more targeted and easier care.~3. Communication module~If two or more persons are caring for one person with dementia, the communication module provides a networking possibility."

The control group will receive a leaflet on some general principles for promoting health and well-being in older adults with dementia.
