Don't you wish you could monitor a sick or elderly family member's health care on a daily basis? A parent across the country with Cancer, a grandparent in a nursing home or ailing family member under the care of a home care professional.
We wish we could be there every waking moment for those we care about but life keeps us busy working, often to support the family member we worry about.
Kiran Kundagi, the creator of Nclave, a website that lets patients and their family members monitor their health online and share that information within small, controlled networks had this same conflict. Working miles away from his Cancer stricken Mother, he decided to do something. A former employee of Intel and Computer Science specialist, he decided to build a community that allows a group of users to better coordinate the care of a loved one — whether they want to monitor doctors’ appointments, medication schedules or simply see how the patient is doing
“A solution that leverages family relationships to enhance emotional wellness and allows family care-givers to assist their seniors remotely to monitor health, nutrition and medication compliance at home is a $2.5B opportunity in (the) U.S. alone,” he writes.
We are excited that health care is moving into the social stratosphere and look forward to all the possibilities in the future!
