iSupport for Dementia

Key findings used in wiki

  • iSupport is organized into five self-guided modules (introduction to dementia; being a caregiver; caring for me; providing everyday care; dealing with behaviour changes) — GiveCare borrows this module split as the top-level taxonomy for non-clinical caregiver micro-support.
  • WHO frames each unit as a brief reading plus concrete examples, a short exercise, and feedback — the closest authoritative blueprint for GiveCare's "one next step" SMS micro-guide structure.
  • The program is explicitly modular, self-paced, printable, and offline-usable, validating GiveCare's design of low-bandwidth, text-first support a caregiver can act on without an app or appointment.
  • WHO presents iSupport as adaptable to local context rather than a fixed protocol, giving GiveCare permission to re-cut these primitives into SMS-sized flows tailored to a caregiver's stated situation.
  • "Caring for me" as a standalone module establishes self-care as a first-class caregiver skill (not an afterthought), reinforcing GiveCare's non-clinical self-care framing alongside care-task help.
