A Taxonomy of Mental Health and Technology Needs for Alzheimer's and Dementia Caregivers
A new taxonomy has been developed to bridge the gap between the mental health needs of Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers and the available technological solutions. This framework, derived from literature reviews and caregiver studies, identifies specific unmet needs such as relational strain and compassion fatigue, which are often overlooked in traditional caregiver burden assessments. The taxonomy aims to provide a common language for clinicians, researchers, and designers to foster more personalized and effective technological innovations in dementia care. AI
IMPACT Provides a framework for developing more targeted AI and technology solutions to support the mental health of dementia caregivers.
