E-Tailored Pain Management Support for Dementia Family Caregivers: Feasibility of the PACE-app

The Pain Control Enhancement App (PACE-app) is a web-based tool designed to help family caregivers manage pain in persons with dementia. The app provides a brief screening to identify caregiver challenges and delivers tailored strategies, communication prompts for providers, and an educational resource library. It includes a digital pain diary for tracking daily pain, treatments, and urgent care use, with weekly reports that can be shared with healthcare providers. The app is accessible on any internet-connected device and designed for caregivers with varying levels of digital literacy.

Caregivers receive no new intervention; they manage their care recipient's pain according to standard practices. No access to the PACE-app is given during the study period.
