Digital Thanotyping for End-of-Life Care in Dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a digital system (called 'thanotyping') to better understand the last stages of life in people with dementia who live in nursing homes. The goal is to improve care and support for both patients and families during this time.
