Technology Needs and Practices of Family Caregivers for Mental Wellbeing

Recognizing the critical role that caregivers play, this research seeks to identify the unique challenges they face, the current practices they employ to manage their mental well-being, and the technologies they use for mental health support. Through a series of in-depth interviews, we will gather insights into caregivers’ mental well-being needs and current practices to cope with mental well-being concerns. Additionally, the study will examine caregivers’ perceptions and reactions to an envisioned AI-driven chatbot designed to provide mental health support. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of caregiver mental health needs and inform the development of effective support tools and interventions.
