Leaders in Healthcare and Digital Health Unite To Innovate for Family Caregivers’ Needs
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kinary, a leading platform dedicated to empowering caregivers and enhancing the family caregiving experience, and a subsidiary of HealthiPeople, a company committed to connecting patients, providers, and caregivers to improve patient outcomes, is proud to announce the formation of an Advisory Board comprised of industry leaders in healthcare, technology, and strategic communications. This strategic initiative highlights Kinary’s dedication to transforming the caregiving landscape by providing innovative solutions that enable family caregivers to balance their responsibilities while still leading fulfilling, independent lives. The solutions include built tools that ease family caregiver burnout by supporting day-to-day coordination and the management of care with others.
With nearly 54% of Americans now part of the ‘sandwich generation’—caring for both children and aging parents—family caregivers are also spending an average of 26% of their income on caregiving. As the U.S. population ages, the demand for innovative and accessible caregiving solutions has never been more urgent.
Kinary’s newly formed Advisory Board brings together a diverse group of thought leaders with a proven track record of clinical and practical experience, who will provide valuable insights, guiding the company in its goals to deliver a seamless caregiving experience for both caregivers and care recipients.
“Kinary’s mission is to transform the daily caregiving experience so that giving care and living life can co-exist,” said Rohit Maheshwari, CEO of Kinary. “Our Advisory Board is a testament to this mission, bringing together a wealth of experience and expertise that will be invaluable as we continue to shape the future of caregiving.
