Frequently Asked Questions
How much time do caregivers spend on phone calls?
On average, family caregivers spend 5-15 hours per week on phone calls related to their caregiving responsibilities. This includes calls to doctors, pharmacies, insurance companies, and coordinating care with other family members. For those caring for someone with complex medical needs, this can exceed 20 hours per week.
Which caregiving calls can be delegated to AI?
Many routine calls can be delegated to AI assistants like KallyAI, including: scheduling and rescheduling medical appointments, pharmacy refill requests, insurance claim status checks, and utility service inquiries. Personal calls like family updates and caregiver check-ins should remain personal connections.
How does phone burden affect caregiver health?
The constant phone management burden contributes significantly to caregiver burnout. Studies show that caregivers who spend more than 10 hours weekly on administrative calls report higher stress levels, reduced sleep quality, and less time for self-care. Reducing phone burden through delegation can improve caregiver wellbeing.
What is the hidden cost of caregiving phone calls?
Beyond the time spent, caregiving calls have hidden costs: interrupted work leading to lost income, cognitive load from tracking multiple healthcare providers, emotional exhaustion from navigating complex systems, and opportunity cost of not spending that time with your loved one or on self-care.
How can KallyAI help caregivers?
KallyAI can handle many routine calls on your behalf, such as scheduling medical appointments, checking prescription refill status, inquiring about insurance claims, and handling utility companies. This frees you to focus on providing care and maintaining your own health.
