In this episode of the Brain & Life Podcast, co-host Dr. Katy Peters is joined by Emmy-nominated actress, writer, producer and host Yvette Nicole Brown. She shares about her experiences as a caregiver for her father who has Alzheimer’s disease. Yvette dives into the connection she found with her father throughout this journey and discusses why she started her podcast, Squeezed, about these experiences. Dr. Peters is then joined by Dr. Francesca Falzarano, assistant professor of gerontology at University of Southern California. Dr. Falzarano is a developmental psychologist whose research focuses on the intersection of technology and dementia care, with a particular emphasis on enhancing the mental health and well-being of family caregivers. In her conversation with Dr. Peters, she shares what she believes the future of caregiving should look like and how technology can help get it there.
