LogicMark Survey Reveals Americans Avoiding Conversation Around Caregiving; Crisis Is Generational, Financial, and Hidden in Plain Sight
LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A comprehensive new national survey commissioned by LogicMark, Inc. (OTC: LGMK), a provider of personal safety and connected care technology, reveals the full scope of America’s caregiving crisis:
At the same time, nearly 8 in 10 caregivers say they would embrace AI-powered health monitoring, contradicting the assumption that technology is unwelcome in caregiving. These findings emerge at a moment of national urgency, with 63 million Americans now serving as family caregivers, nearly 1 in 4 adults. The emotional, financial, and professional toll those caregivers carry has remained largely invisible.
Burnout at Record Levels with Gen Z the Hardest Hit
Ninety percent of current family caregivers show burnout symptoms;
Gen Z caregivers are more affected than any older cohort, both professionally and personally. Nearly two-thirds (
“Most people picture caregiving as a middle-aged concern and, alarmingly, they are avoiding conversations around this phenomenon,” said Chia-Lin Simmons, CEO of LogicMark. “The data says something totally different. Gen Z adults are quietly carrying one of the heaviest loads, and doing it without paid leave, any financial cushion, or the support systems older generations had time to build. This is a generational emergency hiding in plain sight.”
The Financial and Career Toll - Compounded by Policy
The economic consequences of caregiving are critical and falling hardest on those least positioned to absorb them. Nearly three-quarters of caregivers (
These findings come as Congress has enacted nearly
The Technology Paradox: Caregivers Are Ready for AI
One of the survey’s most striking findings cuts directly against the prevailing narrative about technology and eldercare caregivers. Despite this statistic, they are not resistant to AI. In fact, more than three-quarters of caregivers (
“Caregivers don’t want a replacement for human connection,” Simmons said. “They would welcome a hybrid model where technology works in the background to support loved ones in their golden years. That’s a design challenge rather than an adoption problem, and it’s one we’re actively solving.”
Men and Women Not Having the Same Experience
The survey surfaces a consistent and significant gender divide in how caregiving is experienced. Men are more likely to describe caregiving as rewarding. Women are more likely to describe it as overwhelming and worrying, and they bear a disproportionate share of the financial and career consequences that go with it.
Women are also more likely to internalize caregiving’s emotional weight over time:
No. 1 Fear Isn’t Money or Time
When caregivers were asked to name their greatest fear, neither finances nor scheduling topped the list. The single most common answer was a loved one who resists help, cited by
This finding points to the emotional core of caregiving: the tension between a caregiver’s concern for their loved one’s safety vs. that person’s desire to maintain independence. It is a dynamic that financial support, workplace flexibility, and technology alone cannot resolve, and one that many families are navigating without guidance.
