Understanding the strategies and unmet needs of caregivers managing medications for people with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias may improve the lives of both caregivers and patients. A recent study describes the strategies and the unmet needs of caregivers managing medications for people with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias. The researchers identified three distinct caregiver personas: “Checklist Cheryl,” “Social Sam,” and “Responsive Rhonda.” Each persona embodies a different approach to medication management, varying in organization, technology use, collaboration and response to challenges. These nuanced personas can guide the design of customized caregiver support and digital health tools.
