CareSupport is a mobile app designed for those who provide care for others but have trouble adapting to their new role

Overview


Many people are thrust into the role of "caregiver" due to family illnesses, and without proper training, this is a difficult transition. Often forced to quit their previous job, this represents a stressful time for these new caregivers, both emotionally and on the job. CareSupport supports these caregivers in those two ways - emotionally through forums where they can connect to other caregivers, and on-the-job support through helpful guides to assist them in their new role.
