    Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to assess the extent of literature examining the impact of technology use by informal female caregivers in their quality of life to characterize existing research gaps and to identify what evidence is already available. Introduction: The well-being of caregivers has become a prominent topic in recent studies on caregiving, especially for informal caregivers, who are mostly female. Within this context, the use of technologies to assist in caregiving tasks has become increasingly popular and some evidence about their impact on caregiver well-being is available. However, significant research gaps persist.Inclusion criteria: We are interested in studies exploring how informal female caregivers use technology and how such use impacts their well-being.Methods: We will search Web of Science and Scopus for studies in English, Spanish and Portuguese published in peer-reviewed journals since from 2018. Sources will be screened in stages by two independent reviewers; data will be extracted from selected full texts and results will be integrated into a narrative summary supported by tables and diagrams following the research questions.
