We're excited to announce a major update to CareConnect: real-time notifications that keep your entire care circle instantly informed.

What's New

Instant Appointment Updates

When an appointment starts, ends, or gets rescheduled, everyone in your care circle receives an immediate notification. No more wondering "How did Mom's doctor visit go?"

Live Note Sharing

As soon as a family member posts notes from an appointment, everyone can see them. This is especially valuable for those important details that might otherwise get lost in translation.

Smart Notification Preferences

We understand not everyone wants the same level of updates. You can now customize:

  • Which types of updates you receive
  • Your preferred notification channels (push, email, SMS)
  • Quiet hours when you don't want to be disturbed

Why This Matters

In our research with caregiver families, we heard the same frustration repeatedly: "I never know what's going on." Important information would get lost in text chains, or certain family members would be left out of the loop entirely.

Real-time updates solve this by creating a single source of truth that everyone can access instantly.

Coming Soon

We're already working on the next phase: AI-powered summaries that distill appointment notes into key takeaways, making it even easier to stay informed when you're busy.

Thank you for being part of the CareConnect community. Your feedback drives everything we build.
