What we do
Three moments
in one evening.
Caringdots is being built for family caregivers — and for the connection between them and the professionals and organisations who provide care. The clearest way to describe it isn’t a feature list, but the moments it’s being built for.
18:40
Something changed and I don’t know if it matters
“She ate almost nothing today. Is that worth mentioning tomorrow, or am I overreacting?”
The caregiver describes it in their own words. Caringdots is designed to turn that into a clear, dated note — kept in one place, ready to hand to whoever comes next. It doesn’t tell them whether it’s serious.
21:15
I don’t know how to do this
“The nurse showed me once, three weeks ago. I didn’t want to ask twice.”
Short, practical guidance for everyday care tasks, written and reviewed with nursing professionals. Readable in low light, in the middle of doing it.
23:50
I need someone who actually knows
“I don’t want an ambulance. I want one person to tell me what to do next.”
One route to professional support, always in the same place on the screen — and always explicit about who receives it and what happens next.
On AI
Grounded first, generated second.
It follows how nurses are trained to think.
Caringdots is built on an established international framework for structuring nursing observation — the same way of naming what has changed, what matters about it, and what usually follows, that nursing professionals are taught and work with. It isn’t a general-purpose assistant guessing at health questions. It asks what a nurse would ask, in language a family can answer at eleven at night.
What it doesn’t do is just as deliberate
It doesn’t diagnose, doesn’t decide, and doesn’t rank how serious something is. Structuring an observation and interpreting it are two different acts, and only one of them belongs in an app.
Labelled, explained, reversible
Anything the system generates is marked as generated. The caregiver can see what it was based on, edit it, or discard it. Nothing produced by AI is presented as a professional judgement, and nothing leaves the app on its own — a person decides, every time.
What a caregiver writes belongs to them
Notes are kept for the person who wrote them and the people they choose to share them with. They aren’t a training set.
