Further, 60% (n=12) of patients indicated a preference to communicate equally or together with their caregiver. Caregivers reported high emotional (n=9, 47.3%), financial (n=6, 31.6%), and physical (n=6, 31.6%) caregiving-related strain. The care team received all patient-caregiver responses electronically. Most patients (86.6%, 13\/15 who completed the user experience interview) and caregivers (94%, 16\/17 who completed the user experience interview) were satisfied with the system, while, of the 6 participating clinicians, 66.7% agreed \u201cquite a bit\u201d (n=1, 16.7%) or \u201cvery much\u201d (n=3, 50%) that the system allowed them to provide better care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings demonstrate system usability, including a systematic way to identify caregiver needs and share with the care team in a way that is acceptable to patients and caregivers and perceived by clinicians to benefit clinical care.
