Caregiver support
VICA
The Virtual Informal Caregiver Assistant supports dementia caregivers through conversational guidance and structured care-context tracking.
The problem
Why this platform exists
Dementia caregivers need support that reflects an ongoing care situation, not an isolated question. The Virtual Informal Caregiver Assistant brings conversational guidance, saved care context, and recurring assessments into a connected experience.
Who it serves
Informal caregivers supporting people living with dementia.
The workflow
From input to action
Establish care context
Ask questions through text, voice, or an avatar interface
Review evidence-supported ABC protocol guidance
Track HABC measures and return to saved sessions
Core capabilities
What it brings together
Protocol-grounded responses
Available Aging Brain Care protocol snippets ground responses. The system indicates evidence support and flags responses outside its available evidence, rather than treating every answer as equally supported.
Personalized care context
Caregiver and patient profiles organize background, care needs, and relevant notes. Voice, avatar, and environment settings adapt the experience to the user.
Monitoring over time
Recurring HABC Monitor assessments cover cognitive, functional, behavioral and mood concerns, and caregiver stress. Previous reports support review of changes over time.
Everyday coordination
Authorized Google Calendar integration supports care-related scheduling. A crisis-detection step can direct users toward urgent phone support, but the assistant is not an emergency service or a substitute for professional care.
The difference
A connected way of working
Combines ongoing caregiver context, conversational support, and structured monitoring; it is not a replacement for professional medical care.
