Indiana University
Clinical Research Specialist, ICARE2
Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, United States, 47401
The I-CARE 2 study is a randomized clinical trial that tests how telehealth technology can positively affect informal caregivers and patients living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The project will gather data over time to measure the impact of our evidence-based Brain CareNotes mobile telehealth app on informal caregiver burden and patients' behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, in a diverse Indiana-wide sample. Under the direction of Dr. Richard Holden, the study has a joint presence in Bloomington, Indianapolis, and online. Research for the study is highly interdisciplinary, applying expertise from social and behavioral sciences, systems engineering and informatics, human-centered design and evaluation, and the health professions. Topics addressed include medication safety; mobile health, sensors, and other technology; healthy aging and disease prevention; family caregiving for people with dementia; participatory design of interventions; and social determinants of health and healthy equity. The research lab pursues "better health, by design" through the development and testing of sociotechnical interventions in key areas of prevention and care.
The lab offers its team members skills development, professional advancement, and competitive funding.
