About

Our main goal is to test a web platform accessible by computers, smartphones and tablets, addressed specifically to caregivers and people with mild cognitive deterioration or mild to moderate dementia providing added value services based on social networks, adapted interventions, clinic strategies and gamification to improve the quality of life of caregivers and people living with dementia (dyads) and permitting to leave in the community as long as possible.

To evaluate the platform effectiveness and impact in dementia type disease affected people and caregivers a randomized, controlled, parallel, longitudinal is proposed. The objective will be to assess during 18 months aspects related to health of individuals (general aspect of health, neuropsychological, daily living functionalities, quality of life, treatment adherence, comorbidities ...), social aspects (improving dyad relationship...) and economics (cost-effectiveness of platform utilization), as well as satisfaction degree and usability of platform.
