This app was built by a family caregiver for family caregivers. When my mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer at 86, our family needed one place to track everything β appointments, test results, doctor contacts, medications, symptoms β available offline at any appointment, on any phone. Nothing we found did exactly that. So we built it ourselves. Now we're sharing it, completely free, for every family going through something similar.
