AbstractApproximately 700,000 unpaid carers spend over a billion hours per year to care for people living with dementia in the UK (Alzheimer’s Society, 2021); at an estimated cost (in England) of over £10B (Wittenberg et al., 2019). Globally, the estimated societal cost of dementia is US$1.3T (WHO, 2021). It is unclear how – and to what extent – unpaid carers engage with information and communication technology (ICT) to support them and the people they care for.Keywords: unpaid carers, dementia, barriers, ICT-use
