What specific problem are you solving?
Family caregivers—often unpaid and under-supported—are the invisible backbone of healthcare. In the U.S. alone, over 53 million adults provide care for loved ones who are aging, ill, or disabled, often without adequate training, resources, or emotional support. This leads to high rates of stress, burnout, depression, and financial strain. Caregivers spend over 30 hours a week on direct care and report significantly higher emotional and physical strain than the general population. Globally, as aging populations rise and health systems become more complex, caregivers are increasingly left to bridge gaps in fragmented systems. There is an urgent need for accessible, context-aware tools that empower caregivers in real time, without requiring them to become experts or navigate complicated systems on their own.
What is your solution?
GiveCare is an AI-powered SMS companion that delivers real-time, personalized support to family caregivers via simple text messages—no app downloads required. Grounded in behavioral science and caregiver-centered design, the system combines caregiver personas, life stage mapping, and stress domains to offer dynamic advice, vetted resources, and emotional validation. Through natural language interaction, users receive reminders, guides, curated links, and self-care nudges tailored to their caregiving phase—from crisis to end-of-life. The platform adapts continuously based on user preferences, care journey, and evolving needs.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
GiveCare serves family caregivers—especially those caring for older adults or individuals with chronic conditions, memory issues, or disabilities. Many are women balancing paid work with intensive, unpaid care. Others are solo caregivers or remote supporters managing care from afar. These caregivers are underserved by traditional health systems that focus solely on the care recipient. By offering personalized, accessible support through SMS, GiveCare helps them manage tasks, reduce stress, navigate healthcare systems, and feel emotionally seen. Our users report improved confidence, reduced overwhelm, and a sense of not being alone. By centering caregiver well-being, GiveCare addresses a major blind spot in global health equity.
