Caregivers are our country’s backbone – and that back is breaking. Can Technology save the day? Alexandra Drane wil lead a interactive workshop on creating solution for caregivers. How we help those who are helping the sick will define our generation-and yet few technological solutions have taken off. Why? Is the task too complicated? The reality of each situation unscalable? Maybe what caregivers need most is empathy-is that a job for technology? Some say yes, some say no-will be interesting to hear what you say. Let’s think hard together on how to help our nations unsung hero, the caregiver. |
