The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), has awarded a $499,651 project grant to Carevirtue Technologies, Inc. to develop a novel, AI-enabled dementia care agent. This agent will provide 24/7 personalized education and support services to rural caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The goal is to address the higher caregiving burden and lower social support experienced by rural ADRD care partners compared to urban caregivers, as well as the capacity constraints faced by home and community-based service providers in these areas. The AI-enabled dementia care agent will leverage vetted ADRD caregiving content and integrate with Carevirtue's caregiver support platform to deliver tailored, context-aware assistance to rural ADRD care partners. This project, with a performance period from Sep 20, 2025 to Sep 19, 2026, aims to increase access to critical ADRD education and support services for underserved rural populations.
