Family Caregivers Want Web-Based & Mobile Technologies to Help in Caring for Loved Ones

A new study, released by the National Alliance for Caregiving and UnitedHealthcare, found that more than two-thirds of family caregivers who have used some form of technology to help them with caregiving believe Web-based and mobile technologies designed to facilitate caregiving would benefit them. The report, e-Connected Family Caregiver: Bringing Caregiving into the 21st Century, http://www.caregiving.org/data/FINAL_eConnected_Family_Caregiver_Study_Jan%202011.pdf shows that technological advances can lighten the growing financial and emotional burdens many caregivers face.
