TEDMED Great Challenges: The Caregiver Crisis

Published on Nov 18, 2013

SSTattler: A conference with about 6 people that knows about "caregivers"... about 45 minutes.

An estimated 44 million people provide full-time or part-time care for the elderly, disabled veterans, new mothers, the injured, and the sick, etc. — a problem that eventually impacts everyone in the nation. Caregivers have few tools, few support systems and receive minimal, if any, training for these responsibilities. What innovations can we develop specifically to support the caregiver community?
