Health Tracking App for Caregivers

How Healthbase helps family caregivers manage health records, track medications, and coordinate care for elderly parents or family members.

When you become a caregiver for a parent, spouse, or other family member, you often become their health administrator too. Suddenly you're managing medications, tracking doctor appointments, handling lab results, and trying to coordinate care across multiple providers.

Healthbase helps caregivers organize and manage health information for their loved ones.

The Caregiver Challenge

Caring for someone else's health adds layers of complexity beyond managing your own.

Information Is Scattered

Your mother's health records are spread across her primary care doctor, three specialists, two hospitals, and a pharmacy. She may not remember all her doctors. Her filing system (if she has one) may be impossible to navigate. Important documents might be anywhere.

You Weren't There for the History

You might not know the details of her health history — conditions managed decades ago, medications tried and discontinued, surgeries that happened before you were tracking. Piecing together a complete picture requires detective work.

Communication Is Fragmented

Different doctors call with different results. Specialists may not know what other specialists prescribed. You're the only one who sees the complete picture — and only if you're actively maintaining it.

Remote Caregiving Is Hard

If you don't live nearby, staying informed is even harder. You can't just drop by and check on things. You depend on phone calls, patient portal access (if you have it), and your family member remembering to tell you what happened at appointments.

Medications Multiply

Many elderly patients take numerous medications. Keeping track of what's current, what was discontinued, what's as-needed versus daily, and what interacts with what is a significant responsibility.

What Healthbase Does

Consolidate All Health Information

Upload records from all providers — every doctor, every hospital, every lab. Healthbase extracts and organizes the information into one comprehensive record.

No more hunting through paper files, email attachments, and patient portals. Everything in one searchable place.

Track Medications Completely

Maintain a complete medication list: what's being taken, the dosage, frequency, who prescribed it, and when it was started.

When a doctor asks "what medications are you on?" you have an accurate, complete answer — not a best guess.

See the Complete Picture

Instead of fragmented information from different providers, you see your loved one's health as a continuous story. Lab trends over years. Medication changes over time. The complete history, organized and accessible.

Prepare for Appointments

Before each doctor visit, generate a summary of relevant information. The doctor gets context; you don't waste appointment time reconstructing history; important details don't get missed.

Share Access Appropriately

If multiple family members share caregiving responsibilities, you can share access to the health record. Everyone stays informed. No one is operating with incomplete information.

Practical Caregiving Scenarios

Managing Multiple Specialists

Your father sees a cardiologist, an endocrinologist, and a neurologist. Each manages different conditions. Each prescribes medications. Each orders labs.

Healthbase shows you everything together. You can see what each specialist is doing, identify potential overlaps or conflicts, and ensure everyone has the information they need.

After a Hospital Discharge

Hospital discharges come with new medications, changed dosages, follow-up instructions, and often a confusing stack of paperwork.

Upload the discharge documents. Healthbase extracts the key information — new prescriptions, discontinued medications, follow-up appointments, warning signs to watch for.

Tracking Cognitive Decline

If your loved one is experiencing cognitive decline, they may not accurately remember or report their health information.

Having a complete record becomes even more important. You're the reliable source of truth when memory is uncertain.

Emergency Preparation

If there's an emergency, having your loved one's complete health information accessible on your phone is invaluable.

Current medications, allergies, medical conditions, recent procedures — everything emergency responders or hospital staff might need to know.

Remote Caregiving

If you're caregiving from a distance, Healthbase helps you stay informed.

Receive and upload documents. Even from afar, you can maintain the health record as documents come in.

Review information before calls. Before talking to your parent's doctor, review the current record so you can ask informed questions.

Track changes over time. Even without being there in person, you can monitor trends in lab values and overall health status.

Coordinate with local helpers. If others help with care locally, share access so everyone is working from the same information.
