Being a caregiver is a very challenging role. Digital platforms and apps can help family caregivers connect with others in similar situations and access vital information, resources, and support services crucial for managing the complex needs of those in their care. These apps can facilitate better communication between caregivers, healthcare providers, and support networks, ensuring better information sharing and coordination.
In Canada, CGI Partners assisted a startup called Consoul Inc., which offers a SaaS wellness platform called “Care Consolidation.” Designed for family caregivers who provide care at home, the app offers personalized services, learning resources, and community support to address caregiver burnout, promote well-being and prevent workplace attrition.
As part of an application and infrastructure assessment, CGI Partners reviewed the platform’s cloud-native architecture, automation and security and provided insights and prioritized recommendations, ranging from infrastructure optimization to security enhancements, to help build a more scalable, secure and responsive application.
In Sweden, CGI Partners developed an app for families living at Hjältarnas hus, a temporary home for children undergoing serious medical treatment. When a child needs comprehensive hospital care, family caregivers have a lot to deal with, both practically and emotionally. The app provides essential information about the facility and nearby services and events, helping families manage their stay at the facility more efficiently. It also allows families to prepare their children for their future stay at Hjältarnas hus with a 3D game.
Using a simple interface, Hjältarnas hus personnel can easily update and add information, simplifying administration and replacing the manual sharing of information to a large extent.
