Apps for Caregivers Get a Dose of AI, but That Might Not Be Enough

The apps and platforms that help family caregivers manage their loved ones' needs are becoming more capable, but the broader issue of caregivers' well-being remains unsolved. My husband and I are caregivers for our middle son, who has multiple disabilities and requires full-time support. We do our best to keep one another up to date on the activities that fill his daily life while also managing his numerous medical specialists, procedures, and therapies. We have to stay in constant communication while also working our jobs, caring for three teenagers, and managing a household. According to AARP, in 2025, an estimated 63 million Americans cared for adults or children with a medical condition or disability. On average, these caregivers spend up to 27 hours per week providing care.
