matched population during the same timeframe. Conclusions: Initial findings from the pilot study indicate that combining home-based medical care and a novel technology-enabled dementia care program can lead to high participant adherence, high program satisfaction, reductions in caregiver burden and lower patient healthcare utilization both during and after the completion of the program. A continuation study with more dyads that are distributed across multiple geographic locations is currently being investigated.
