Family Care Reimagined
We all know how chaotic family life can be. That can be made even more difficult when a family member requires caring for on a daily basis.
Zen Care is a new platform designed to help family caregivers manage the care and medical needs of their loved one all in one place.
Say goodbye to juggling, and manage your Care Circle effortlessly with Zen Care
The Challenge
When a relative becomes elderly or unwell, the responsibility to manage their care can often fall on one person’s shoulders.
Suddenly it becomes that person’s job to organise appointments, manage medication, liaise with healthcare teams, assist with tasks like shopping and cooking and more.
In order to stay on top of the myriad of tasks they must complete on a weekly basis to ensure their loved one is looked after, there is often a trade off with self-care and wellbeing.
Introducing Zen Care
Our software helps users to organise everything care related from managing appointments, organising documents, coordinating duties and monitoring wellbeing.
Zen Care is a digital solution which allows family caregivers to manage the day-to-day care requirements of their loved ones with minimal effort and maximum efficiency, the aim of which is to free up valuable spare time which can be better spent on activities which support wellbeing and healthy family dynamics.
Zen Care is built around an intelligent calendar which provides a single place for organising all of the most important elements of the dependent person’s care. The intelligent calendar will be an intuitive and easy to use calendar, where everyone involved in giving and managing care can contribute to and view the week’s schedule and tasks.
Form a Care Circle with your team and coordinate caregiving with ease
The concept of Zen Care is built around the belief that better time management should lead to a less chaotic schedule, enabling family caregivers to feel more Zen.
By bringing everything together in one well-designed app, we believe that caregivers, whether professional or voluntary, can all save time and increase their effectiveness through being having access to the information they need, when they need it.
One Place for All Things Care
View and manage your loved one’s schedule in one place with helpful categorisation and integrations with other tools to minimise the need for manual inputs or duplication of effort.
All Your Calendars in One Place
Consolidate everyone’s schedule using the Shared Calendar function, allowing you to plan your activities without the worry of missing an appointment or forgetting to pick up a prescription!
Food Shopping and Meal Planning
Use our smart meal planning tools to foster healthy eating habits, and take the work out of deciding what’s for dinner. Get customised meal plans for your loved one, and manage the shopping list remotely so your care team are able to provide optimal nutrition all the time.
Monitor and Manage Care Visits
Zen Care allows users to monitor care remotely, using smart features such as geolocation tools for care visit check-ins, giving you peace of mind when you can’t be there in person.
Bring Your Family closer Together
Zen Care can also be used to communicate with wider family members and friends who may be invested in the wellbeing and health of the person being cared for. Share updates, upload photos and memories and send messages of support through the app.
Form a Care Circle to Coordinate Activities
Zen Care enables everyone involved in caring for an individual to form a Care Circle to communicate and coordinate activities. No more Whatsapp groups and repetitive messaging – just share your updates via the app.
Organise Important Documents and Files
Rather than managing a huge folder full of documentation relating to your loved one, Zen Care has a smart storage tool where users can upload, view and manage documents such as letters, emails, prescriptions, test results, X-Ray images and more so you have everything you need in one convenient location.
The Benefits
We believe that families who work together and achieve better efficiency through the use of the Zen Family platform can achieve a range of benefits which ultimately lead to improved wellbeing and better family relationships.
Have peace of mind, even when you’re far away
From our own experience, we know that worry and uncertainty about the care of our loved ones is one of the main stressors when a family member is dependent on us for support.
Zen Care aims to remove the need for unnecessary stress and worry by giving full visibility of what’s going on, minute by minute, hour by hour. View all care activities as they completed, and easily contact the carers and medical staff through the app’s messaging and collaboration tools.
Ensure the best possible outcomes for your loved ones
Something else we have learned through our own experiences with the healthcare system in the UK and US is that it can be difficult to reach a correct diagnosis quickly and efficiently, and in some cases time lost in between can result in unnecessary worsening of a patients condition.
We believe that by enabling family caregivers to organise and view all the information relating to the patients condition more easily, an improved level of understanding can be reached, enabling you the family caregiver to ask the right questions and acheive correct diagnoses more quickly.
Organise Appointments and Other Events with Ease
Organising schedules has never been so easy with Zen Care’s feature packed Appointments and Events function. Invite and share details through the platform, using the calendar and messaging functions.
Save contact details and specific needs such as dietary requirements, health information, disabilities and more, so you can have peace of mind that everything will run smoothly.
Improve family connections and help combat loneliness
One of the most important parts of supporting a loved one’s health and wellbeing is ensuring that they always feel connected and involved, no matter how far away you may be.
The Zen Care platform will encourage users to regularly make contact with their loved one, whether that’s a quick message to check in on how their days is, a link to a video they might like, or even a regular video call with other family members.
