Many of these unpaid dementia carers have to balance caring with paid work, which can present them with several challenges. Technology can offer potential solutions, independent of an already strained social care system. This qualitative study aimed to explore working dementia carers\u2019 needs and wants regarding technological solutions for their work\u2013care reconciliation challenges. We conducted semi-structured interviews with\u00a016 (10\u00a0women, 6\u00a0men) working carers of community-dwelling people with dementia in Scotland. Data were analyzed thematically to identify key themes. Carers wanted solutions for seven main issues: (a)\u00a0care management; (b)\u00a0attending appointments; (c)\u00a0entertainment and companionship for the person with dementia; (d)\u00a0dealing with psychological and psychosocial stress; (e)\u00a0safety concerns; (f)\u00a0accessing information, and (g) personal care. The technological solutions most carers had experienced focused on care management, safety concerns, and access to information. Few if any carers had experience with technologies for entertainment and companionship for the person with dementia, their own psychological and psychosocial well-being, attending appointments, and personal care. Some carers made suggestions for technologies they were not aware already existed, highlighting the need for effective signposting to technological solutions tailored to their individual needs. Our findings are relevant for healthcare professionals, organizations, and employers seeking to support working carers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10354-026-01136-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]],"date-time":"2026-02-27T10:22:24Z","timestamp":1772187744000},"page":"76-90","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Dementia family carers\u2019 needs and wants for technological solutions to their work\u2013care reconciliation challenges: semi-structured interviews","Bed\u00fcrfnisse und W\u00fcnsche von pflegenden An- und Zugeh\u00f6rigen von Demenzkranken hinsichtlich technologischer L\u00f6sungen f\u00fcr ihre Herausforderungen bei der Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Pflege: halbstrukturierte Interviews"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"176","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1825-686X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alice","family":"Spann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marieke","family":"Spreeuwenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Hawley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luc","family":"de Witte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"1136_CR1","unstructured":"Alzheimer\u2019s Research UK (2015).
