Description
Sophia Boesl and co-authors lay out a pilot study of a short preventive health service for working family caregivers in Germany, in a 2026 protocol paper. Most care receivers live at home, cared for by kin who often cut work hours and strain their own health. A law change now lets preventive stays be split into parts.
The pilot, run in Oberstdorf and online from April 2026 to January 2027, enrolls working caregivers with moderate burden. The service itself is co-built with caregivers and experts. Two groups get the same on-site care but differ in how much digital support follows. Satisfaction with the service is the main early read. The project aims to fold such support into public health for caregivers.
