About the Carers’CARE Mobile App Project
The Carers’CARE App project is dedicated to the development and evaluation of a mobile phone App to support people looking after a family member or friend with dementia.
The Carers’CARE project is a collaboration between Dementia Australia Tasmania, Carers Tasmania and the University of Tasmania. The project was developed with input from dementia carers in the community and experts in dementia and carer services, psychology and computing.
We are seeking carers over the age of 18, who live in Australia and who care for a family member (spouse/partner, parent, other family member) or friend with dementia to be involved in The Carers’CARE Mobile App research project.
To sign up for the Carers’CARE mobile app research project, you must be a family or spouse carer, or caring for a friend, and reside in Australia.
Note: Please allow around 15 to 30 minutes to complete the registration process.
