Why we built CareMobi
Caregiving is overwhelming - trust us, we get it! So many medications, so many doctor's appointments, and so much to keep track of on a daily basis. CareMobi was designed by and for people who find themselves caring for loved ones, and don't want important information to get lost. It helps them stay organized and share information with other family members and providers so everyone is on the same page.
We found that keeping better track of daily information nip emerging problems in the bud and helps caregivers work with healthcare providers. We asked doctors and nurses around the country to tell us what information from caregivers allows them to work together to make better decisions. We then worked with caregivers and adult day programs to create a user-friendly app that captures that information. Our goal is to keep people out of hospitals and emergency rooms by improving communication, and support caregivers as effective advocates!
