How We Bring People Together
Community
Understanding
We design for the whole community, not just patients and their caregivers.
Conversational
Interfaces
We make supporting families as easy as sending a few text messages, or shopping online.
Gratitude
Not Guilt
We take the guilt and pressure out of asking (and being asked!) for support.
