CareSupport
CareSupport is an AI assistant that lives in iMessage/SMS and coordinates family caregiving. No app to download – families just text. When a caregiver cancels, it finds and confirms replacements automatically. We’re building the coordination layer for the 63 million Americans doing unpaid family caregiving.

CLE.MD
CLE.MD is the comprehension and behavioral intelligence layer healthcare’s infrastructure was never designed to include. Built by a family caregiver who sat in an ICU facing decisions she couldn’t understand. A protocol-driven behavioral system — because the reason comprehension fails is not lack of information. It is emotional state. Information delivered into fear, intellectual shame, or cognitive freeze does not land. CLE.MD was built from the ground up around that insight.

Eleplan
Eleplan is the operating system for caregiving. We help families and care teams transform scattered documents, routines, medical information, and lived experience into organized, searchable, secure intelligence that moves with a person across caregivers, providers, and life stages. By making critical information accessible when and where it is needed, Eleplan reduces caregiver burden, improves continuity of care, and helps ensure no knowledge is lost during transitions.

EVRKind

Itinerist - Noted
Itinerist is transforming family caregiving by helping caregivers recognize meaningful changes in a loved one’s condition before they become urgent.

Built from firsthand caregiving experience, Memoryboard makes it easy for family and friends to share messages, photos, reminders, and routines that keep loved ones connected, supported, and engaged every day. We believe technology should strengthen human connection, not replace it.

MyMedVisit
MyMedVisit is a voice-first health app that helps family caregivers capture what happens at a doctor’s visit and turn it into clear, shareable records. With one tap, it records the visit, transcribes it, and creates a plain-language summary of diagnoses, medications, and next steps, so caregivers remember everything and keep the whole family informed. Built by a clinician-scientist, our mission is to make caregiving less overwhelming and better organized.
