However, as the symptoms of dementia progress, people living with dementia often experience a decline in functional abilities, which in turn requires greater support from their caregivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When informal caregivers \u2013 who may be spouses, family, or friends \u2013 take on greater responsibilities in assisting people living with dementia complete activities of daily living, they increase their own risk of stress and burnout. Yet it can be difficult for caregivers to self-identify when their load has become a burden, and when they may need to engage additional supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to new funding from the Alzheimer\u2019s Association and Brain Canada, researchers at the Bruy\u00e8re Research Institute, <a href=\"https:\/\/research.carleton.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carleton University<\/a>, AGE-WELL <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sam3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SAM3 National Innovation Hub<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohsu.edu\/collaborative-aging-research-using-technology\/cart-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oregon Health and Science University<\/a> (OHSU) are working to develop a measure, using artificial intelligence (AI), that can help identify when care partners are experiencing higher levels of burden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link to Story For many people living with dementia, living at home with family is preferable to assisted living or long-term care.
