Health enSuite Caregivers is an e-health program designed to meet some of the most common needs of caregivers of persons with dementia, including information about dementia and dementia care, caregivers' emotional health, formal or informal help received from others. It also recommends specific strategies to promote wellbeing and provides tools to help caregivers implement these strategies in their everyday lives. Health enSuite Caregivers is available online and as a smartphone app. Its development was informed by reviews of caregivers' needs and existing commercially available apps F. A systematic search of commercially available smartphone applications for caregivers found that many apps did not consider each caregiver's unique needs and were limited to psychoeducational content (no tools for self-management). Furthermore, most existing programs have not been rigorously tested or lack evidence to support their effectiveness.
