Using telecomputing to provide information and support to caregivers of persons with dementia

KA Smyth and PB Harris
Alzheimer Center, University Hospitals of Cleveland, OH 44106.

The Alzheimer's Disease Support Center (ADSC) is a telecomputing-based project designed to provide information and support to caregivers of persons with dementia. Inherent features of telecomputing make computer- mediated information and support systems like the ADSC a viable complement to existing efforts to meet caregivers' needs. This article outlines the rationale for the ADSC and describes its context, structure, content, and operation.
