National Ageing Research Institute, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Background: We have co-produced with carers of people with dementia (hereafter carers) a culturally tailored iSupport Virtual Assistant (VA), namely e-DiVA, to support English-, Bahasa- and Vietnamese-speaking carers in Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand and Vietnam. The presented research reports qualitative findings from the e-DiVA user-testing study.
Method: Family carers and healthcare professionals working in the field of dementia care were given the e-DiVA to use on their smartphone or handheld device for 1-2 weeks.

Background: How people affected by non-memory-led and inherited dementias (NMLDs) interact with online health resources is poorly understood. We conducted the world's largest survey exploring 'digital access in non-memory-led dementias' to learn directly from people with NMLD, their care partners and NMLD Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) about the NMLD experience interacting with web-based health resources.
Method: Four surveys [for individuals diagnosed with NMLD, care partners, care partner proxy for person with NMLD, HCP proxy] were co-developed with people with NMLD experience.
