AI and Family Caregivers

[Jayden Tang]

As AI advances at unprecedented rates, particularly in the healthcare sector, caregivers deserve a seat at the table when it comes to technology development and policy. Research at the University of Toronto seeks to understand the perspective of family caregivers when it comes to AI usage. If you are a family caregiver that is interested in responsible AI and the future of technology, read more about how to get involved in our study below:

Attention Family Caregivers!
Are you a family caregiver of an older adult with a chronic illness and have used ChatGPT or similar AI tools? We want to hear from YOU!

We’re conducting a research study to explore how family caregivers perceive and experience using ChatGPT as part of their caregiving role. If you’re interested in sharing your experiences and contributing to this important research, we invite you to participate in a virtual interview (30-45 minutes).

Participants will receive:

• A short, confidential demographic survey
• An opportunity to discuss how ChatGPT has helped or posed challenges in caregiving tasks like information-seeking, emotional support, and care coordination.

We’re seeking 20 caregivers, and your input can help shape the future of caregiving technologies!
