AbstractRecently, there has been an increased availability of information and communication technologies to support healthy aging and caregivers’ activities. While there is no substitute for the human touch, new technologies can help to support paid (e.g., health care aides in continuing care) and family caregivers or friends and neighbors. Technologies can also improve the quality of care, especially for residents of continuing care centers who might have complex health and social needs (Lindeman et al., 2020). Thus, technologies can facilitate caregiver responsibilities by enhancing communications and supporting person-centered care. Mobile technologies can offer some advantages for caregivers (Perez et al., 2022) and people living with chronic conditions such as dementia (Neubauer et al., 2021), as well as enhance quality of care. An understanding of the factors that influence the acceptance and usability of technologies is necessary to implement new tools in caregiving roles (Liu et al., 2015).Keywords: caregivers, technology, usability studies, mixed methods, innovation
