A dementia care coordination app.
-Alzheimer's caregiving is exhausting even with many times more informal caregivers than persons with dementia.
-It's difficult to track where everything stands, what needs to be done, and how a family member or friend can help.
I'm working on an app that helps families delegate tasks, message, and take notes in a single place with customizable permissions for what is and isn't shared.
- jrumbut 6y agoI don't want to muddy the water or interfere with your strategy but I would love something like that for non-dementia care where the person cared for can give input. Either way really I think this is a beautiful idea.
- onepointsixC 6y agoYou're too kind. My Dementia focus comes from personal experience with my late grandfather. But there's no reason something like this couldn't work for general care. I should throw together quick video of what half baked functionality I have thus far.
- jrumbut 6y agoA couple of retired family members are caring for my grandmother (who thankfully does not have dementia but is very old), and I always wish there was a way I could cut in to drive her to a doctor's appointment or do a load of laundry without creating more overhead for them than I save in work. I know a lot of working people in the same boat, they want to help but can't make a full time commitment. I think this could really be something useful for that particular situation.
- onepointsixC 6y agoThank you so much for elaborating, I think this may be useful for that exact use case. If you wouldn't mind I'd love any feedback or thoughts on what I've put together thus far: https://youtu.be/uzm5d15QS_M https://youtu.be/uzm5d15QS_M It's missing quite a bit still, but it is where I'm at right now.
- rstupek 6y agoI would also really like to see what you've done
- onepointsixC 6y agoSure, it's a bit raw, but any thoughts or comments would be well appreciated: https://youtu.be/uzm5d15QS_M https://youtu.be/uzm5d15QS_M
