Using Crowdsourcing to Support Dementia Caregivers: Opportunities for Public Health

Dementia caregivers often find it difficult to find support and resources that are available to them in the community. Crowdsourcing is an innovative approach to mapping community assets that can help identify new caregiver-focused resources and ultimately help connect caregivers to the supportive services and resources they need. However, it also presents a number of challenges related to the quality, sharing and maintenance of data. At this webinar we will explore design solutions to some of these challenges and together, discuss how public health can use crowdsourcing to support its dementia caregiving efforts.
