Caregivers play a huge role in helping people with Alzheimer's and similar conditions stick to their medication routines. But here's the thing: the tools out there, both digital and not, aren't really cutting it for these caregivers. They don't fit their needs, their daily lives, or their comfort with technology.

The Solution: Personas

So, what's the solution? Personas. These are like detailed profiles that represent the typical traits and needs of caregivers. They can guide the creation of better tools and interventions. Think of them as roadmaps for designers and developers.

Why Personas Matter

But why are personas so important? Well, they help bridge the gap between what caregivers need and what's currently available. By understanding the real challenges caregivers face, we can create tools that actually make a difference.

Improving Quality of Life

It's not just about making things easier. It's about improving the quality of life for both the caregivers and the people they're caring for. That's a big deal.

Building Better Tools

The current tools might not be perfect, but they're a starting point. With the right approach, we can build something better. Something that truly supports caregivers in their crucial role.
