This study aims to examine whether a program that provides opportunities for interaction among family caregivers and promotes peer support - implemented in a clinical setting within brain and physical activation rehabilitation - can contribute to improving health-related quality of life (QOL) among family caregivers who experience physical and psychological burdens due to diagnosis and caregiving. By analyzing acoustic features and conversational characteristics of their interactions, we evaluate emotional states using voice analysis to assess the feasibility and potential impact of such a program.
