摘要

Suicide remains a leading global cause of preventable death, claiming over 700,000 lives each year and leaving families and caregivers profoundly affected. While digital technologies have advanced the prediction of suicide risk, they have done little to support those who live closest to crisis. This commentary calls for a shift from prediction to participation, proposing a model of co-production that integrates caregivers into the design, use, and governance of suicide-prevention technologies. When caregivers are treated as collaborators rather than observers, digital tools can evolve from surveillance systems into shared instruments of care. Ethical, emotionally attuned, and culturally adaptable design can help transform AI and telebehavioral tools into supportive ecosystems that reduce isolation and enhance connection. Technology, when guided by empathy and transparency, can extend the reach of human care without replacing it. Suicide prevention’s next frontier emphasizes deeper participation, an architecture of trust grounded in sustaining relationships.
