  • Bewell360 HWC care model for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients and their caregivers (Bewell360) Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the BeWell360 coaching care model to improve functional and experience-related outcomes of informal caregivers (CGs) of patients living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) to create a foundational framework for future evaluation and implementation.
  • Comparative Effectiveness of Behavioral Interventions to Prevent or Delay Dementia (CEBIPODD) Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    This study will compare the effectiveness of different combinations of 5 types of behavioral interventions across patient-centered outcomes. It will also evaluate which outcomes (e.g. quality of life, cognition, function, mood) matter most to people at risk for dementia and their care partners. The results of this study have the potential to direct patients, families, and health care providers as to which combinations of behavioral interventions provide the greatest potential impact on which dementia prevention outcomes. Greater use of behavioral strategies that are targeted to the outcomes of most important to the patient will likely improve patient compliance and treatment adherence. This, in turn, can lessen the need for medication, health care, and long term care utilization.
