Can software lighten the load on exhausted caregivers?

A Forbes piece explores technology as a possible remedy for caregiver burnout. It describes a prospect, not a tool already in use.

Forbes has published a piece asking whether technology could ease caregiver burnout while keeping the human side of care intact. We treat it as a look at a possible future solution. No specific technology is described as deployed today.

It matters because care is one of the needs that has resisted getting cheaper. It depends on people's time and attention, and burnout is what happens when that supply runs thin. If tools ever take over the routine parts of the work, caregivers could keep their energy for the parts that need a person. That would widen access to care. Nothing here shows that is happening yet, so this is a signal to watch, not progress to count. The full account sits with the source.
