Study Summary
This clinical trial will test the FamTechCare intervention that uses multidisciplinary professional guidance based on in-home video monitoring to support family caregivers in managing challenging behaviors of persons with dementia (PWD). Families provide the majority of care for PWD at home. However the stress of caregiving is so significant that it increases caregiver morbidity and mortality. Stress is magnified by disruptive behaviors in PWD that frequently lead to nursing home placement. In-home video monitoring allows experts to assess behaviors of PWD and to identify antecedents, recommend specific interventions. FamTechCare uses new technology to link family caregivers to experts for guidance in managing disruptive behaviors, supporting continued care at home while reducing the negative effects of caregiving. Caregiver-PWD dyads (N=88) will be randomly assigned to intervention or control groups. Both groups will record behaviors during daily care for 3 months using a home monitoring unit. Notably, this new technology captures 3-5 minutes prior to the behavior, thus recording behavior triggers and precursors. Caregivers record care situations they select and upload videos to a secure site. The expert team will review intervention group videos weekly and will provide individualized feedback for improving care to caregivers in the home. The control group caregivers will receive a weekly phone call and advice from a nurse, but their recorded videos will be held for review and individualized feedback provided after 3 months. Study aims are to use observation to assist caregivers in behavior management. Effects on disruptive behaviors and caregiver burden and other negative outcomes will be compared. Investigators will evaluate ease of use and satisfaction, cost-efficiency, and factors influencing likelihood of translation into practice. This is the first study to test new technology for direct observation and immediate feedback to empower families to manage PWD b
