Discover How Grief Care is Being Transformed by Technology

Grief expert Melissa Lunardini is featured in this conversation about the potential and pitfalls of AI use in grief care. Being able to leverage technology for grief support can be a huge help, but as with any tech use, that support needs to be safe and appropriate.  

Here are some highlights from this episode:

• Melissa believes it’s very important to recognize that while AI is technology, not all technology is AI.
• Text-based support (texting) is NOT AI; it’s simply SMS messaging that comes to a smart phone.  
• For many people who need support, receiving a text is the best way to access grief care.  
• Not every form of grief support works for every person - grief support groups or individual therapy might not be accessible or affordable. 
• Some forms of AI can offer a risk to mental and emotional health, but the science around this topic is still developing. More research is needed.
