Smartphone-based versus traditional face-to-face collaborative care for community-dwelling older adults living with dementia in China: protocol for an implementation science-based sequential multiple assignment randomised trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The high costs of institutional care and the burdensome demands of home care are challenging for families of adults with dementia. The collaborative care model (CCM) provides a potential solution to these challenges. Leveraging advancements in mobile technologies, smartphone-based management could offer a feasible means of providing collaborative care in a community setting. Therefore, this study aims to establish a CCM for home-cared older adults with dementia to determine the best strategy to deliver collaborative care, including both the channel and frequency of delivery.

Methods and analysis
