In the UK, there are around 7 million carers,
with one in five carers giving up employment to care.
These people are unpaid, spend almost all the time at
home with the people they are caring for. Carer’s wellbeing
begins to deteriorate as they neglect to connect with
their friends, neglect their physical health, and the
carer becomes someone in need of caring.
CarerCare app tracks the carer’s steps data,
the frequency of phone calls and text messages sent through
the app and generates a wellbeing score prediction every week.
Carers can adjust this score to reflect their perceived wellbeing
score in order to increase the accuracy of the prediction. When a
carer hasn’t moved for a few days, hasn’t been physically active
in the day, or hasn’t contacted a friend in a week, it reminds
them to do so automatically. The carer has the option of sharing
their wellbeing score.
Data is never shared without permission, and always with the option to be anonymized with Local Differential Privacy.
The design is made with carers of all ages in mind, emphasizing simplicity in navigation and presentation.
Easy and relevant actions to promote wellbeing are suggested based on the Carer’s activity and preferences.
Helps carers quickly take act on nudges, composing messages suited to Carer’s chosen activities with friends, and in app calling.
