The "Let's Talk Tech" Tool to Support Decision Making About Technology Use

Summary

The goal of this research is to educate people about different technologies to support care at home when someone is experiencing memory difficulties. "Let's Talk Tech" is a new tool to educate people about technologies commonly used to support care and monitor safety, and help families talk about their feelings about them to understand each other's perspectives. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if "Let's Talk Tech" helps people feel more prepared to make decisions about technologies. Researchers will compare Let's Talk Tech to usual care (no intervention) to see if Let's Talk Tech increases peoples' preparedness and confidence to make decisions about technologies. Participants will: * Use the Let's Talk Tech web application together with their study partner that takes up to an hour or do nothing. * Complete three surveys. The second survey will be taken within 2 weeks of the first and the last survey will be taken 3 months after the first.
