Caregiver Burden Software
Technology intended to reduce caregiver burden often paradoxically increases it. Learning a new app, logging data, and responding to non-critical alerts can add "digital labor" to an already overwhelmed caregiver.
The Digital Labor Tax
When evaluating a care coordination platform, we measure the Time-to-Task (TTT). If logging a medication takes longer on the app than checking a box on a paper fridge magnet, the app will be abandoned.
