Being a caregiver to someone living with a chronic illness can be both mentally and emotionally draining. Medications, appointments, contacts and reports all need to be organized. Binders are one approach, but they can quickly fill up – especially when you’re managing several specialists across different health districts. Dealing with endless to-do lists, on top of the emotional toll of being a family caregiver, can lead to caregiver burnout.
Chronically Simple gives you the ability to manage appointments and medications in one central place – making it easy to share information with others to ensure continuity of care. It means one less post-it note to write. One less report to remember to bring. And one less reminder you need to set for yourself.
Founded by a patient living with a chronic illness and built with the help of caregivers, each feature works to lessen the burden of caregiving and makes the day-to-day complexities of supporting a loved one a little easier.
