      ab: The devastating effects of dementia extend to the health and well-being of informal dementia caregivers. The physical and mental requirements of serving as a dementia caregiver are evidenced in the negative health effects that this population experiences. There is a present need for effective interventions to improve health and quality of life in informal dementia caregivers. To investigate the health and well-being related outcomes following mHealth use in dementia caregiver and care recipient populations. A scoping review was undertaken to investigate mHealth use in dementia caregivers. Searches spanning four databases yielded 172 articles. Following screening procedures, 12 articles were included for data extraction.. Articles were organized into three major themes: social and indirect support, health education, and technology-supported monitoring. Social and indirect support apps may be valuable for caregiver stress relief, confidence, and fatigue. Health education apps were found to 1) assist with the organization of user's health information, and 2) impact depressive symptoms. Monitoring apps provided caregivers with methods of observing both physical and emotional well-being.. Currently, the limited evidence on the usability and usefulness of mHealth within dementia caregiver populations indicates that mHealth holds promise as an intervention platform and warrants continued investigation.
