GRP-087 Empowering Alzheimer’s Caregivers: Designing Explainable and Personalized AI for Mental Health Support

This study presents the design of an AI-powered caregiver support app aimed at personalized mental health and burden management for individuals caring for Alzheimer’s patients. The design is grounded in insights drawn from a comprehensive analysis of 28 recent studies on AI-driven mental health interventions. These findings informed the implementation of key features, including machine learning models such as Random Forest, clustering, and supervised learning to create adaptive care plans tailored to patient and caregiver profiles. The system dynamically adjusts task schedules based on engagement data and provides interpretable recommendations through SHAP. With built-in emotional check-ins, mood tracking, and caregiver-centric interventions, the app promotes well-being while reducing the cognitive and emotional load often experienced in dementia caregiving.
