Aliviado 1.7.3

The Aliviado app serves as a resource dedicated to supporting the care of individuals living with dementia. It offers a range of tools, educational materials, and resources designed for both clinicians and caregivers. Developed by Aliviado Health, an initiative affiliated with the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing, the app is part of a broader effort to enhance dementia care through improved symptom management and quality of life improvements for patients and their caregivers.

Aliviado Health has enrolled thousands of clinicians in its comprehensive educational program, providing access to innovative training, mentorship, and specialized resources. This program aims to deepen understanding of the complexities involved in dementia care, fostering a more effective and compassionate approach. The organization’s focus on tailored care contributes to better symptom management, reduced hospital readmissions, lower healthcare utilization and medication dependency, as well as increased staff confidence and knowledge. Such initiatives also support cost reduction and higher patient satisfaction levels.

The Aliviado app offers selected content from these extensive resources, specifically targeted at dementia care for older adults. Key features include:
