Care to Plan: an online tool that offers tailored support to dementia caregivers.
This study developed and tested the feasibility of "Care to Plan" (CtP), an online resource for dementia caregivers (e.g., relatives or unpaid nonrelatives) that generates tailored support recommendations. It concluded that, based on the integrated qualitative and quantitative data, CtP was simple and easy to understand. The streamlined visual layout facilitated utility and the individualized recommendations could meet the needs of users.

User-centered design groups to engage patients and caregivers with a personalized health information technology tool.
The researchers’ goal was to develop a tool that could be used in the real-world, daily practice of Hematopoietic Blood and Marrow Transplant (HCT) patients and caregivers (users) in the inpatient setting. To that end, they examined the views, needs, and wants of users in the design and development process of the Bone Marrow Transplant Roadmap through user-centered Design Groups.
