HHS Backs AI Innovation for America's Caregivers.

"WASHINGTON—NOVEMBER 18, 2025—The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced a new $2 million Caregiver Artificial Intelligence Prize Competition to support the 1 in 4 Americans serving as caregivers for older adults and people with disabilities.

This initiative through HHS’ Administration for Community Living (ACL) recognizes the millions of caregivers who support aging relatives and loved ones with disabilities. Their compassion and commitment form the backbone of America’s long-term care system, helping older adults and people with disabilities live with dignity and independence at home and in their communities.

Despite their essential role, many family and friend caregivers remain unseen and unsupported, often facing emotional, physical, and financial strain. Nearly half of caregivers report worsening mental health and only one in four say they are in good physical health. As staffing shortages and high turnover continue in direct care, family caregivers are being asked to do more with fewer resources."
