Abstract

Informal caregivers of people living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (PLWD) face challenges like obtaining personalized information and monitoring PLWD's health. Rapid advancements in technology, especially in sophisticated and controversial areas like artificial intelligence (AI), prompted our study to assess AI's potential and challenges in supporting the needs of informal caregivers of PLWD. Caregiving activities require dynamic, often unpredictable, and sometimes emotionally draining tasks that deal with a large amount of information. We conducted a systematic review to understand what AI technology has been developed to support informal caregivers of PLWD. We collected 920 papers from ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, and PubMed. Screening and eligibility evaluation resulted in 16 papers for full-text review. We present which documented needs of informal caregivers have been explored by the existing research, and the contexts of the AI solutions including interfaces, data, and algorithms, as well as their effectiveness, challenges, and limitations.
