For Organizations, Healthcare, and Care-Tech Teams

Insight-driven talks that help organizations better understand caregiver reality and build more trusted, supportive solutions.

What Caregivers Actually Need From Tech

Caregiver tech often misses the mark because it does not account for emotional load, cognitive fatigue, and the realities of daily care. Jeanette shares what caregivers truly need and how to design and deliver tools that reduce friction, build trust, and increase adoption.

Audience takeaways:

  • Better understand the emotional load, decision fatigue, and real-world constraints caregivers are navigating

  • Recognize why well-intended tools often create friction instead of support

  • Learn how to design, communicate, and recommend technology in ways that build trust and increase adoption

Building Trust
in Care Tech

Care technology is not just about features. Caregivers also need clarity, confidence, and reassurance that a tool is safe, useful, and worth the effort. This talk helps organizations understand the trust barriers that affect caregiver adoption and how to communicate, recommend, and implement tools in ways that feel more supportive and credible.

Audience takeaways:

  • Understand the trust barriers that shape caregiver decisions and adoption

  • Learn how communication, rollout, and support influence whether tools are actually used

  • Identify ways to make care technology feel clearer, safer, and more supportive
