A Mobile Application for Supporting Dementia Relatives: A Case Study.

This work presents DILP, a project and solution for caregivers and relatives of persons with dementia. The app aims at providing help on demand and covers topics like medical and psychological issues, communication, legal and financial issues, practical advice for everyday challenges, and more. The technology is explained in detail, and special attention is given to the user-centered development and content authoring. The final solution was tested in the field by relatives of persons with dementia and health workers with many encouraging results regarding usefulness, usability, structure, and others. However, the trials also showed that functionality like search and find-ability of information was difficult to achieve.
