The health and well-being of informal caregivers often take a backseat to those that they care for. While systems, technologies, and services that provide care and support for those with chronic illnesses are established and continuously improved, those that support informal caregivers are less explored. An international survey about motivations to use mHealth technologies was posted to online platforms related to chronic illnesses. We focused on responses regarding the facilitators and challenges of achieving health goals, including the use of mHealth technologies, for the subgroup who identified as "Caregivers". Findings indicate that mHealth technology is not yet the most important motivational factor for achieving health goals in this group, but greater future potential is suggested.
非专业护理人员的健康和福祉往往被忽视。虽然为慢性病患者提供护理和支持的系统、技术和服务已经建立并不断得到改善，但支持非专业护理人员的服务却较少得到探索。我们在与慢性病相关的在线平台上发布了一项关于使用移动医疗技术动机的国际调查。我们专注于关注作为“护理人员”的小组在实现健康目标方面的促进因素和挑战的回应，包括使用移动医疗技术。调查结果表明，移动医疗技术目前还不是该群体实现健康目标的最重要的激励因素，但未来潜力更大。
