Thank you again everyone for your comments. Some of them have been helpful.
Tomorrow I will take down the HN front page. Your accounts will remain in case you still want to check things out. You can also delete your accounts yourself, or ask to have them deleted.
If you want, you will still be able to create a new account from the default main page https://katesapp.org. You will need to ask for an access code, but I'm happy to provide one.
Edit: Sorry, the option to delete your account has not been uploaded to the server yet. However, email me at the address in my HN account, or contact me through the app, and I'm still happy to delete your account for you if you want.
Again, thank you everyone.
The main point is to share information. You and your father and your sister are all taking care of your mother with alzheimers. What was the geriatrist's phone number again?
As another commenter commented, this would be a good candidate for a local-first app. I'd love to do that at some point.
I have not thought about into this, but I'll need to look into the possibility. This could be a useful feature for an eventual version. Thanks for the idea.
My understanding is that it keeps everyone connected. Like, you as a family member may be a caregiver or you may have a nurse or someone else as a caregiver and it can help keep family, caregiver, the person being cared for all in the know on what is happening.
Very cool to see Cariloop mentioned here in this conversation. I'm the VP of Engineering at Cariloop. We offer Caregiver support and coaching through our coaches who are nurses and social workers. So one thing they can do is find help for services but they can do a lot in navigating a difficult caregiver situation.
Additionally, we do offer medication tracking and other digital caregiving tools. I will also mention like others here, it is important to have things like HIPAA best practices in place for services like this. At Cariloop for example we follow HIPAA best practices, GDPR compliance, and are SOC 2 certified.
