Summary

This study is testing a chatbot called DAPHNE to see if it helps caregivers of children find resources for needs like food, housing, or healthcare. About 70 caregivers and their doctors will use the chatbot or standard care for 6 months. Researchers will check if the chatbot is easy to use and fits into clinic routines.
