Description
Pilar Barnestein-Fonseca and co-authors present a 2025 study of how new tech tools feel to those in end-of-life care volunteering. When the pandemic barred face-to-face help, tech stepped in to keep patients, kin, and aides in touch. The team asked patients, kin, staff, and aides how useful such tools seem.
Scores on use, gains, blocks, and contentment were paired with a tech outlook profile. Talks and group chats added depth on what helps and what grates. The aim is to guide which tools to offer and how to ease their uptake in care teams.
