CLARE is a remote care program and research study powered by

The Communication, Learning, Advocacy, Resources and Expertise (CLARE) study is investigating the feasibility of using an app to train and support elder caregivers.
Principle Investigators: Cristina Hendrix, DNS, GNP-BC, FNP, FAAN
Institution: Duke Elder Family/Caregiver Training (DEFT) Center
Trial Design: Single-site, Hybrid

“Recruitment for CLARE started in October, and the goal is to include 50 people in the study, ages 45 and older, caring for patients 65 and older. The pilot will develop open-ended questions to assess caregivers’ experiences using the phone app. Eventually, the app could be used to support caregivers helping patients not just in discharge situations, but those dealing with chronic diseases that have high incidence of hospitalization. With the continued shortage of health care providers and a growing population of aged people who rely on at-home caregivers, proper training and support can make a difference in the outcome of the patient, the efficacy of the caregiver, and even potentially reduced health care costs.”
