Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) place a significant burden on caregivers. To address this, we developed ADQueryAid, a conversational AI system designed to empower ADRD caregivers. Built on a Large Language Model and enriched with ADRD knowledge, ADQueryAid uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation to provide personalized and informative support. A user study comparing ADQueryAid to a baseline model (ChatGPT 3.5) demonstrated its superior usability, offering contextually relevant information and emotional support. This study highlights the potential of tailored AI systems to enhance the caregiving experience, paving the way for future research on their long-term impact.
