title: Technology assists people with dementia to wash their hands.
abstract: The shift from hospital to home-based care has meant that family carers are increasingly depended on to attend to the care needs of older adults with Alzheimer's disease. The constant pressure to meet their relative's needs for assistance and support can result in debilitating levels of stress for the caregiver. Even small decreases in caregiver burden have been found to reduce their depressive symptoms.
