The TIDS framework operationalizes Safety, Trustworthiness, Choice & Control, and Collaboration for digital contexts, providing the structural basis for GiveCare's safety-layer design.
Safety in TIDS requires that digital systems never create new sources of harm, informing GiveCare's principle that the SMS agent must not worsen a caregiver's emotional or practical situation.
Trustworthiness is defined through consistency, transparency, and follow-through, directly shaping GiveCare's tone calibration and promise-keeping patterns in the SMS agent.
Choice & Control mandates that users retain agency over their data and interaction patterns, referenced in GiveCare's opt-out, data-deletion, and session-control features.
Collaboration emphasizes shared power between system and user, informing GiveCare's design principle that the agent advises but the caregiver decides.
