Transforming Caregiving Through Technology

By uniting seniors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals on a single platform, Thrive Community’s app fosters a supportive ecosystem for caregiving. Through user-centric design and innovative technology, Wiser helped Thrive Community reduce stress, improve communication, and deliver a seamless experience that supports caregivers and seniors worldwide.

Challenge

Thrive Community envisioned a platform to alleviate the stress of caregiving by centralizing communication, coordination, and updates for families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. However, the client lacked the resources and technical expertise to transform their idea into a fully realized product. They needed an intuitive solution designed for seniors and caregivers, simplifying caregiving tasks while fostering engagement and connection.

Our Approach

We partnered with Thrive Community to design and deliver an app tailored to their vision of simplifying caregiving while ensuring ease of use for seniors.

Key actions included:

  1. User-Centric Design: Developed an intuitive app for seniors and caregivers with simple account setup and a “check-in mood” feature for easy emotional communication.
  2. Enhanced Coordination: Enabled users to add up to seven circle members, including family and healthcare professionals, to streamline care planning and communication.
  3. Engagement Features:
    • Integrated a photo-sharing news feed and a customizable news module to keep seniors informed and connected.
    • Added Amazon integration, allowing seniors to purchase suitable products directly from the app.
  4. HIPAA-Compliant Communication:
    • Integrated video calls and private chat features via VoIP, enabling virtual check-ups and secure communication.
    • Simplified calling with one-tap access to caregivers or family members.
  5. Cross-Platform Scalability: Developed Android and iOS applications using Flutter, reducing future maintenance costs while enhancing the onboarding journey.
