Abstract
It has been shown that home care of children with special health care needs and highly complex diseases has made it possible to lower the costs associated with hospitalization and reduce the risk of mortality so that timely, safe, and continuous accompaniment of parents or caregivers is an im-portant task for health care teams. This care can be hampered by problems of communication and responsiveness to the demands for care, generating anxiety in caregivers when making decisions, a barrier that has been minimized with the incorporation of modern technologies. In this update, we present an analysis and reflection on the implementation of technology as a tool at the service of caregivers of children with special needs, based on the existing applicability in palliative care.
