Interventions
CAPTURE Text Message Care Transition Support
The CAPTURE intervention is a tailored, automated text messaging program designed to support care partners of persons living with cognitive impairment (PLWCI) during the 30-day period following an emergency department (ED) visit. It provides up to two messages per day, customized based on caregiver-identified needs, and addresses topics such as care transition guidance, symptom monitoring, caregiver well-being, community resources, and communication strategies. The content is evidence-informed and was developed through a user-centered design process involving caregivers and clinician stakeholders. Unlike generic text messaging interventions, CAPTURE specifically targets caregiver support needs in the acute post-ED setting for PLWCI.
