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.
