A home care app that connects families with caregivers. We turned a prototype into a live platform that fills open shifts 3× faster and cuts manual coordination by up to 65%.
Client: ElderCare
Industry: Healthcare & Care Management
Platforms: Web, iOS, Android
Scope: From prototype to production
Technology: React, Python, AWS, OpenAI
Result: Open shifts filled 3× faster
3× faster - open shifts now filled in under 10 minutes instead of 30
Up to 65% - less manual work to coordinate care
100% - protection against two caregivers taking the same shift
4 alert channels - in-app, email, browser push and SMS
3 platforms - one product on the web, iOS and Android
ElderCare helps families organise home care for elderly relatives. The first prototype proved the idea, but it couldn’t support real care work.
Uncovered shifts. When a caregiver cancelled, finding a replacement took around 30 minutes of calls and messages.
Unverified visits. Families had no reliable way to know when a caregiver actually arrived and left.
Missed reminders. Medication and health alerts had to reach the right people on time, through the right channel.
Scattered communication. Families and caregivers needed one place to talk and share care updates.
A prototype, not a product. The platform needed a proper foundation to run safely every day.
Turned the prototype into a real platform. We built a dedicated backend and moved the app to secure cloud hosting, ready for daily use and future growth.
Automated backup shifts. When a shift opens up, nearby eligible caregivers are notified instantly. The first to accept gets it, a shift can never be booked twice, and urgent shifts pay 1.5× the standard rate.
Verified every visit with GPS. Caregivers check in and out on their phone. If they are more than 500 metres from the client’s home, the visit is flagged for review.
Set up medication reminders and health alerts. Reminders go out on time in each user’s time zone. If blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen or glucose readings fall outside safe limits, the family is alerted.
Connected every alert channel. In-app messages, email, browser notifications and SMS are managed from one place and respect each user’s preferences.
Added live chat between families and caregivers. Everyone in the care circle can talk in real time.
Built an AI Care Guide. An AI assistant answers questions about care and keeps the context of the whole conversation.
Made it work everywhere. The app installs from the browser and is also available on iOS and Android, in English and Spanish. Health reports can be downloaded as PDFs.
ElderCare went from a no-code prototype to a working care platform that families and caregivers use every day.
ElderCare is a home care coordination platform that connects families with professional caregivers. Time2Launch migrated the product from an Emergent AI prototype to a dedicated Python FastAPI backend with MongoDB, hosted on AWS. The mobile-first React frontend is delivered as a Progressive Web App and as iOS and Android apps.
Key features include automated backup caregiver scheduling, GPS-based electronic visit verification, time-zone-aware medication reminders, threshold-based health alerts, real-time messaging and an AI Care Guide powered by OpenAI. It shows our approach to web application development: taking an early prototype and turning it into a reliable product.
