Telehealth for Lewy Body Dementia
This study is testing a new way to deliver care for people with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), including those with behavioral disturbances or Parkinson's disease. It's called "Tele-neurohub" and involves using telemedicine (like Zoom) to connect you with a team of specialists, including a neurologist, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, a social worker, and a dietician. The goal is to make it easier for people with LBD to get expert care from home, especially if they live far from specialists or have trouble traveling. To join, you need to be 18 to 100 years old, have an LBD diagnosis, mild to moderate dementia, internet access with a Zoom-compatible device, a caregiver living with you who will participate, and be fluent in English. The study will measure how many telehealth visits are completed over 6 months to see how well this new care model works. The current recruitment status is unclear.

- What's involved
- Participants will receive interdisciplinary care through telemedicine (Zoom) technology for 6 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
