Caregiver apps add AI, but can it ease the burden?

caregiver apps are increasingly using ai to help manage the complex needs of loved ones. medisafe, founded in 2013, tracks medications and sends reminders, while caring village, founded in 2015, offers an ai assistant called julia to answer caregiving questions. mejo, launched in 2022, allows users to enter medical history and share it with caregivers and doctors. despite these advancements, the caregiver crisis persists, with an estimated 63 million americans providing care and spending up to 27 hours per week on caregiving activities.
