Background: Given the success of recovery approaches for people living enduring mental illness who nevertheless experience the outcome of personal recovery despite ongoing clinical symptoms it is appropriate to consider applying this model to dementia. Additionally, telemedicine is increasingly seen as an effective and efficient means of health care delivery among this population (Rice et al., 2021). Leamy and colleagues identified the elements of CHIME (connectedness, hope and optimism, identity, meaning in life and empowerment) as the key features of successful recovery‐oriented approaches (Leamy et al., 2011). This research is postulating that enhancing CHIME in people with mild dementia through the use of a web‐based self‐management intervention tool will have health‐promoting outcomes for both the person living with mild dementia and their carer. Method: The research design used in this intervention development process is participatory design (Young et al., 2020) based on systematic reviews, Agilie methodology in line with current best practice guidance on research with and for people living with dementia (Gove et al., 2018). Specifically, the intervention co‐design process will follow the guidance (Cathain et al., 2019) on the development and reporting (Duncan et al., 2020) of complex healthcare interventions. Result: The development of a novel telehealth intervention that enhance markers of personal recovery, defined as CHIME, in people with mild dementia. Conclusion: It is intended that this systematic development process will enhance knowledge of the methodology of development of useful and acceptable telehealth tools for people living with this condition. Involvement of stakeholders in the co‐development process will be invaluable with regard to usability and acceptability, and hopefully limit wasting of research resources as a consequence.
